市场经济对孔子义利观的借鉴

The Reference of Market Economy to Confucius′View of Righteousness and Benefit

孔子义利观是在春秋社会大变革的背景下产生的,为的是解决宗法等级统治体系的崩塌所带来的“礼崩乐坏”的现实问题。为了更好地协调“公利”与“私利”之间的关系,孔子提出了“以义为质”“见利思义”“为仁行义”的思想。这些思想对于解决今天市场经济运行中出现的一些问题仍然有借鉴价值。在发展市场经济中,要树立“义利统一”的观念,反对“不义而富”“为富不仁”的行为,确立“以义生利”的“逐利”思想,处理好国家、集体、他人与个人的关系。

Confucius′view of righteousness and benefit was produced under the background of the great social changes in the Spring and Autumn Period,in order to solve the practical problem of"collapse of rites and destruction of harmony"caused by the collapse of patriarchal hierarchy system.In order to better coordinate the relationship between"public interest"and"private interest",Confucius put forward the idea of"taking righteousness as quality","seeking benefit while thinking righteously"and"practicing righteousness for benevolence".These ideas still have reference value for solving some of the problems arising in the operation of the market economy today.In the development of market economy,it is necessary to establish the concept of"unification of righteousness and benefit",oppose the behavior of"getting rich by unjust means"and"being rich without benevolence",and establish the idea of"pursuing benefit"by"producing benefit by righteous means",and handle the relationship among the state,the collective,others and individuals.
