孟子道德哲学的情感主义特征及其时代价值

The Emotionalism Characteristic of Mencius’ Moral Philosophy and Its Value of the Times

作为儒家文化重要奠基人之一的孟子,提出“四心”之端的道德修养理论。他从情感反应视角分析了道德行为发生的心理机制,阐释了道德实践的可能性、道德修养的现实性以及道德价值的普惠性。这一理论体系关涉道德情感,关照人格尊严,充分彰显儒家道德哲学的人文价值关怀。这种基于“人同此心,心同此理”的道德修养理论,对于当下凝聚价值共识、增进社会认同有着积极意义。

Mencius,as one of the important founders of Confucian culture,put forward the moral cultivation theory. From the perspective of emotional reaction,this paper analyzes the psychological mechanism of moral behavior,expounds the possibility of moral practice,the reality of moral cultivation and the universality of moral value. This theoretical system is concerned with moral emotion and human dignity,and fully demonstrates the humanistic value concern of Confucian moral philosophy. This moral cultivation theory,based on the principle of "one heart,one mind",has a positive impact on the current value of building consensus,enhancing social identity,and promoting people to actively and steadily deal with practical problems.
