孟子的忧患意识及对高校思想政治教育的启示

Mencius’ Sense of Worry and Its Inspiration for Ideological and Political Education in Colleges and Uni⁃versities

孟子的忧患意识是传统忧患意识的重要组成部分,孟子的忧患意识具体表现为对民生艰困、政治失序和道德不彰的忧患。相较于其他思想传统,孟子忧患意识的特征表现为:立“仁义”之心,追溯中华优秀传统道德精髓;摒弃利己私欲,扩充本有之心;绝非一朝之患,实乃终身之忧。对于高校思想政治教育而言,孟子的忧患意识可以在树立“以学生为中心”的教育理念、培养勇担民族复兴大任的时代新人、激发受教育者自我教育的内生动力等方面提供有益思路。

Mencius’s sense of worry is an important part of the traditional sense of worry.Mencius’s sense of worry is specifically expressed as worries about people’s livelihood difficulties,political disorder,and moral weak⁃ness.Compared with other ideological traditions,the characteristics of Mencius’s sense of worry are as follows:es⁃tablishing a heart of“benevolence and righteousness”and tracing the essence of China’s excellent traditional morals;abandoning selfish desires and expanding the original intention;it is by no means a one-time problem,but a lifelong problem.For ideological and political education in colleges and universities,Mencius’s sense of worry can provide useful ideas in establishing a“student-centered”educational concept,cultivating new genera⁃tions who are brave enough to shoulder the responsibility of national rejuvenation,and stimulating the endogenous motivation of the educated to educate themselves.
