身体与治理——试析儒家对“自我”的构建及拓展

Body and Governance——On the Construction and Expansion of“Self”by Confucianism

儒家对“自我”的构建及拓展,可以从其对身体与治理的论述中找到线索。儒家对自我的确证,源于“万物皆备于我”的自觉与自信;在“能近取譬”的身体隐喻中,儒家展示了独特的认知路径;儒家“礼治”的根本,立足于其“身国同构”的理念;“治身”与“治政”的交融,正是儒家践行自我治理的特征。

The construction and expansion of“self”of Confucianism can be tracked down to its discussion of body and governance.The confirmation of“self”of Confucianism stems from the self-consciousness and self-confidence of“All being for Myself”.In the body metaphor of“explaining by simple analogy”,Confucianism shows a unique cognitive path;the root of Confucian“rule by rites”is based on its concept of“isomorphism of body and country”;the integration of“managing the body”and“governing the country”is the characteristic of Confucian self governance.
