试论当代儒家责任伦理学建构

On the Construction of Responsibility Ethics in Contemporary Confucianism

推动中国哲学的现代转换,一项重要学术使命是致力于儒家道德哲学的创造性转化与创新性发展,而这离不开儒家责任伦理学的当代建构。传统儒家不断阐发责任伦理所取得的成果,是当代更好地创建与西方责任伦理学相接榫的、具有现代性的儒家责任伦理学形态的前提。建构较为系统的儒家责任伦理学,无疑要承担很大的风险、面临诸多的困难,但也具有很大的可行性,并且具有重要的意义。这不仅能够弥补现有儒家义学的不足、拓展责任学的空间、推动当代伦理学的发展、推动当代儒学的重构和发展,而且能够积极推进新时代中国社会的责任伦理建设,为当前中国社会构建责任体系、建立责任制度、培植责任人格、建构责任心学、培育责任意识和塑造责任伦理提供精神资源。合理建构当代儒家责任伦理学,必须注重深入挖掘、合理阐释、反向格义、返本开新和有机整合。

To promote the modern transformation of Chinese philosophy,an important academic mission is the devotion to the creative transformation and innovative development of Confucian moral philosophy,which is inseparable from the construction of responsibility ethics in contemporary Confucianism.The achievements made by traditional Confucians in the endless elucidation and construction of responsibility ethics constituted a logical premise for a better establishment of a modern Confucian ethical pattern in alignment with Western responsibility ethics.Constructing a more systematic Confucian responsibility ethics will undoubtedly confront great risks and face many difficulties,but it also has great possibilities and is of great significance,which can not only make up for the shortcomings of the existing Confucian ethics,expand the space of responsibility study,promote the development of contemporary ethics and promote the reconstruction and development of contemporary Confucianism,it can also actively promote the construction of responsibility ethics in Chinese society in the new era,provide spiritual resources for current Chinese society to build a responsibility system,establish responsibility institutions,cultivate responsibility personalities,construct responsibility psychology,cultivate responsibility consciousness and shape responsibility ethics.In order to rationally construct contemporary Confucian responsibility ethics,we must pay attention to the organic integration of indepth exploration,reasonable interpretation,reverse interpretation,and returning to the origin to discover new things.
