在文化的融通中生长——论韩国当代政治思想对儒家精神借鉴的可能性

Growing up in the Integration of Culture:The Possibility of the Reference of Confucianism on Korean Contemporary Political Thought

中国的儒家思想对历史上的韩国有过重要影响,它不仅成为朝鲜王朝的主流政治思想,也培育了韩国人日常生活的道德伦理。近代以来,韩国在其现代化的过程中,主要依靠的是西方政治思想,但是,随着西方文化影响的深入,其中的弊端也不断呈现出来。儒家思想不仅是强调礼仪的社会文化,也是主张德治的政治思想。它对"仁义"等价值观念的诉求,与现代西方思想并无根本区别,它们之间存在着相互融通的可能。因此,考虑到儒家精神对韩国传统文化塑造的历史事实,在尊重儒家文化的基础上,探寻儒家与西方思想之间的共同性,进而生长出属于自身的现代性来,就成为不脱离自身经验的关于国家政治思想的积极思考。

Confucianism in China had an important influence on Korea in history.It not only became the mainstream political thought of Korean dynasty,but also cultivated the moral ethics of Korean daily life.Since modern times,in the process of Korean modernization,it was mainly relies on Western political thought.However,with the deepening of the influence of Western culture,the disadvantages are constantly emerging.Confucianism not only emphasizes the social culture of etiquette,but also advocates the rule of virtue in politics.Its appeal for the value concept of benevolence and righteousness is not fundamentally different from that of modern western thought,and there is a possibility of mutual accommodation between them.Therefore,considering the historical facts of Confucianism’s shaping of Korean traditional culture,and the commonality between Confucianism and the West on the basis of respecting Confucian culture,and then growing up its own modernity,it is a positive thinking about national political thought without divorcing its own experience.
