孟子王霸之辩探究

The Research of Menci's Wang Ba Debate

王道和霸道一直是中国古代政治社会中一对重要的概念,二者构成了儒家治国之道的两种不同的政治路向,而孟子明显是王霸之辩这一论题演变过程中至关重要的一环。他在礼崩乐坏的社会大背景下确立了自己的王道理想,并对当时横行于世间的霸道进行了激烈的批判,要想实现国家长治久安,必须实行王道。不过这种理想化的政治模式似乎很难在霸政当道、风云变幻的战国时期高歌猛进。

Wang and Ba are important concepts in ancient politics society and they are compose the entirely different political tendency in Confucian values.At the same time,Menci had play an essential role in the argument between Wang and Ba,in the one hand,Menci constructed Wang under the background of the ritual collapse,in the another hand,Menci animadvert the Ba which is faddish at that time.In his views,the execution of Wang is the most effective way to maintain prolonged stability.However,it seems difficult for idealized political model to be adopted by monarch inWarring states.
