儒家“天人合一”思想的现代价值

Modern Value of Confucian Thought of Unity of Heaven and Man

儒学是中国优秀传统文化的重要代表,辨析和探讨儒家哲学思想的价值,对于我们今天做好各项事业有着极其重要的意义。儒家思想是一个完整的体系,以“仁”为核心的礼乐精神展开后,扩充到社会秩序的各个方面,礼乐精神则体现在人伦关系的确立之上,从“亲亲”“仁民”“爱物”之爱推扩到对天下之爱,贯通中国文化中的政治、军事、经济思想,到达哲学核心命题对生与死的超越。西学东渐,主客二分的思维模式,既是一种文化的交流,同时也是不同思想的碰撞。以主客二分理解儒家思想既有局限性,也有借鉴意义,在以西方哲学的概念解释和比对中国文化的同时也更应该尊重中国文化本身所具有的系统性完整。

Confucianism is an important representative of China’s excellent traditional culture.It is of great significance for us to analyze and discuss the value of Confucian philosophy.Confucian thought is a complete system,with benevolence as the core of the spirit of rites and music expanded to all aspects of social order,which is reflected in the establishment of human relations,from befriending to relatives,benevolence,and loving of things to the love of the world,through the Chinese culture of politics,military,economic thought,to the core proposition of philosophy beyond life and death.Western learning and subject-object dichotomy mode of thinking are not only a cultural exchange,but also a collision of different ideas.The dichotomy of subject and object has both limitations and reference significance for understanding Confucianism.While explaining and comparing Chinese culture with the concept of Western philosophy,we should also respect the complete and systematic nature of Chinese culture itself.
