儒家文化的传承与普世根基探析

The Inheritance and Universal Foundation of Confucian Culture

作为中华传统文化的核心代表,儒家文化是否能为普世伦理做出资源性贡献,在如今新的传统文化热的背景下尤其值得探讨。有观点认为农村宗法社会和小农经济的解体摧毁了儒家文化的基本生存土壤,在现今市场经济的社会,儒家文化已经丧失了其生命力。然而宗法社会并不是儒家文化的所有生命力所在,儒家文化中有其独立的精神内核,宗法社会已不复存在,但是这种独立的伦理精神内核不会过时,在新的社会时代下依旧有其合理性与生命力。孝悌精神是儒家文化的种子与根基,在现今的市场经济社会的新的土壤中,中华传统文化将实现华丽转型、发展与延续。

As the core representative of the traditional Chinese culture,whether Confucian culture can make a contribution to universal ethics or not is worthy exploring in the context of new popularity of the traditional culture.It is held that the disintegration of the rural patriarchal society and the peasant economy has destroyed the basic foundation of Confucian culture,and in the current market economy,it has no status and vitality.But the patriarchal society is not all the vitality of Christian culture,on the contrary,Christian culture has its own independent spiritual core.Although the patriarchal society no longer exists,the independent spiritual core will never be out of date,and in the new social era,it still has its rationality and vitality.The spirit of filial and fraternal devotion is the seed and foundation of Confucian culture,and in the current market economy,the traditional Chinese culture may realize its magnificent transformation,development and continuity.
