进步儒学与人伦

Progressive Confucianism and Human Roles

经过适当理解,进步儒家学者认可人伦与人际关系作为现代人生活的核心。进步儒学注重伦理和人际关系,同时也批评片面或过于僵化地理解这些概念,因为这种解读没有把握住儒学思想的要义,甚至还削弱了儒家在现代社会中可能发挥的积极作用。

The thesis of this essay is that when properly understood,human roles and human relationality are central to modern human life and are embraced by progressive Confucians.While it has an important place for roles and relationality,progressive Confucianism does criticize one-sided or overly rigid understandings of these concepts for two major reasons:such interpretations fail to capture crucial insights of Confucianism,and they undermine the possibility of Confucianism’s playing a positive role in the modern world.
