孔子“仁之方”的四种进路

Four Approaches to Confucius'Benevolence

“仁之方”是孔子仁学思想中的一个重要概念。因为孔子谈仁从不直接回答什么是仁,多是从“仁之方”,即实现仁的方式、方法谈起。从《论语》一书中,我们可以看到,实现仁的方法有很多,可以从爱入仁、从敬入仁、从孝入仁、从忠入仁、从恕入仁等等。对这些方法进行归纳总结,我们可以看出,孔子谈论“仁之方”大致有以下几种进路:一是强恕而行以达仁;二是由学成智以达仁;三是推己及人以达仁;四是外束于礼以达仁。

"Benevolence formula"is an important concept in Confucius'Benevo-lence Theory.Because Confucius never directly answers what is benevolence,he mostly talks about"the way benevolence",that is,the way and method of realiz-ing benevolence.From the Analects of Confucius,we can see that there are many ways to realize benevolence,such as from love to benevolence,from respect to benevolence,from filial piety to benevolence,from loyalty to benevolence,from forgiveness to benevolence,and so on.By summarizing these methods,we can see there are four ways to achieve benevolence.The first is strengthening forgiveness to achieve benevolence;the second is learning to be wisdom to achieve benevolence;the third is considering others in our.Own places to achieve benevolence;the fourth is promoting the effection of propriety to achieve benevolence.
