《世界人权宣言》与儒家伦理“精神”

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Confucian Ethics “Spirit”

世界人权宣言》所揭示的价值在当代正遭受攻击,所达成的人权价值共识遭受全球性分裂的危险,被断言"人权只有悖论可以提供"。究其根源在于,《世界人权宣言》所宣称的人权的形上本性——"理性"被无限放大而忽视了其伦理"精神"。历史和哲学显示,《世界人权宣言》蕴含着儒家伦理"精神",这种潜在的因子在世界历史进程中逐渐地浮现出来,成为弥合人权价值全球性分裂的力量。儒家伦理"精神"之于《世界人权宣言》的意义在于:在"精神"视角里,它的整体性观点,弥合个体权利与集体权利;它的关系性观点,注重人权的实现,超越"人权悖论";由价值共识走向共同行动,进而在评判世界人权进展中,不仅仅停留在价值共识,更为重要的在于共同行动。

At present,the value revealed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is under attack,and the consensus on human rights value is experiencing division globally,which asserts that'human rights can only be provided by paradox'.The root of this is that'reason',the metaphysical nature of human rights proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,is infinitely magnified while the'spirit'is ignored.History and philosophy showthat the Universal Declaration of Human Rights entails the Confucian ethical'spirit'.At this time,this potential factor is gradually emerging in the course of world history and became a force to bridge the global division of human rights values.The significance of Confucian ethics'spirit'to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights lies in:from the perspective of'spirit',its holistic view,bridging individual rights and collective rights;its relational viewfocuses on the realization of human rights and transcends the'paradox of human rights';progressing from the value consensus to common action,so that in the process of judging the progress of human rights in the world,we considernot only the value consensus,but also the common action.
