论儒家友善观情感关怀取向的当代性及其意义

On Contemporaneity and Significance of the Emotional Care Orientation of the Confucian View of Amity

儒家友善观指以尊重、包容、同情、关爱等友善情感为主要内容并在此基础上升华为"仁爱"价值的思想观点。儒家认为,人的友善情感按照"亲亲""尊贤"等原则表达,且借助礼乐的社会实践形式,才具有公共、普遍意义。儒家友善观立足于人的本性,蕴涵着强烈的情感关怀取向。这种取向具有当代性,它为思考社会主义友善价值观的实践动力、实践出发点以及友善情感与规范之间的张力等问题提供了传统文化资源和历史参照。儒家友善观的情感关怀取向与马克思主义关于人的自由解放和全面发展思想有内在相通之处,在理论上有助于从人的存在本性角度深化社会主义友善价值观的内涵,在实践上有助于完善社会主义友善价值观的实践体系,包括实践的展开、实践的立足点选择、实践的社会心理机制构建等。

This orientation is contemporary, and it provides the traditional cultural resources and historical reference for thinking about the practical motive, practical starting point and tension between friendly feelings and norms of socialist friendly values. There is an internal connection between the emotional care orientation of the Confucian view of friendship and the Marxist thought of the free liberation and all-round development of human beings,in theory, it is helpful to deepen the connotation of the friendly values of socialism from the angle of people’s survival nature. In practice, it is helpful to perfect the practice system of socialist friendly values, including the development of practice, the choice of practice foothold, the construction of social psychological mechanism of practice, etc.
