儒家伦理思想的情感特征及其内在逻辑

On the Emotional Characteristics of Confucian Ethical Thought and its Internal Logic

儒家伦理思想作为一种情感本位的德性伦理学,具有鲜明的情感特征。恻隐之心从道德起源的角度为儒家伦理思想贴上了情感性的标签,由仁及礼的逻辑路径则使天然的道德情感由情感表达进一步转化为道德认同;而以孝道伦理为核心的传统家庭伦理在社会范围内的引申与扩充,使道德情感冲破了现实的血亲关系范围的束缚;诚这一理念在历史进程中的不断强化,则见证了道德情感从天然情感向形上本体的超越。中华民族在这一独特的伦理氛围中逐渐形成了家国一体、心怀天下的传统价值取向,而人类命运共同体意识更是深深植根于儒家伦理的精神传统之中。

Confucian ethical thought,as an emotional-based moral ethics,has distinct emotional characteristics.From the perspective of moral origin,Compassion labels Confucian ethical thought with emotional labels,and the logical path of benevolence and etiquette further transforms natural moral emotions from emotional expression to moral identity;while the extension and expansion of traditional family ethics with filial piety ethics as the core in the social scope makes moral emotions break through the shackles of the scope of actual blood relations;the continuous strengthening of the concept of sincerity in the historical process witnesses the transcendence of moral emotions from natural emotions to metaphysical ontology.In this unique ethical atmosphere,the Chinese nation has gradually formed a traditional value orientation of the unity of the family and the country and the world in mind,and the sense of a community with a shared future for mankind is deeply rooted in the spiritual tradition of Confucian ethics.
