论儒家文化中自律的调节机制

On the Self-discipline Adjustment Mechanism in the Confucian Culture

与中国大一统封建秩序相适应的儒家文化强调社会整体性,要求个体服从社会整体。为了实现文化的社会整体调节功能,儒家文化建构了精细的个体自律调节机制。个体自律是儒家文化整体理性设计的现实落脚点,也是儒家文化现实建构的出发点。从儒家文化中的知行与君子、修身与知行、取义与修身三个方面探讨和阐释中国儒家文化中自律的调节机制,便可明晰地看出这一机制实际上是由个体的取义而上升到君子的德性辉光。

The Confucian culture that adapts to Great Unity in feudal orders of ancient China worships a social integration, embracing that individuals ought to observe the will of social integration. To function the adjustment of social integration in culture, it has formed a sound self-discipline system. Individual self-discipline is both a practical found stone for overall rational layout and an origin of practical establishment in Confucian culture. This paper undertakes to expound the self-discipline adjustment mechanism in the three aspects: 'zhixing' and gentleman, 'zhixing' and self-cultivation, and 'quyi' and self-cultivation. Eventually it comes to a conclusion: the mechanism represents an upgrade from individual 'quyi' to gentleman's moral perfection.
