论黑格尔的婚姻观

On Hegel’s View of Marriage

黑格尔认为,婚姻是由本身无限独特的两性人格自由委身所产生。婚姻的实质是具有法的意义的伦理性的爱,既不是性的关系,也不是单纯的契约关系,更不是纯粹感觉上的爱。婚姻的实现,当以两性特异人格之间的自由恋爱为前提,同时遵循与家长协商的原则,而且还必须通过举行婚礼来庄严而神圣地确认。婚姻的解体,源自婚姻作为一种直接、自然的伦理的属性,理性地面对解体是婚姻概念的内在要求。黑格尔的婚姻观在许多方面对中国当前的婚姻现实仍有启发意义。

In Hegel's view,marriage arised out of the free surrender by both sexes of their personalities,which were infinitely unique to themselves.The substance of marriage was rightfully ethical love,which was neither sexual relationship,nor civil contact,not to mention sheer sensorial love.The realization of marriage should be based on free love between both sexes of their personalities.Meanwhile marriage should accord with the principle of consulting with parents.Moreover,marriage must be notarized through sacred wedding.Dissolution of the marriage stemed from its immediate and natural ethical relationship.Rationally facing the dissolution is the inherent requirement of the concept of marriage.All in all,Hegel's marriage theory enlightens Chinese modern marriage issue a lot.
