真诚性、创发性是儒家道德主体性的根本

Sincerity and Creativity are Foundations of Confucian Moral Subjectivity

成中英先生作为新儒家三期发展的代表人物,于2016年春季在中国人民大学发表了"论儒学的真诚性与创发性:兼论儒学的三偏与三正"的学术报告及其论文。其报告的主旨内容和新的学术贡献可以用如下几句话加以概括和评点:述史砭今说偏正,真诚创发开新论;仁义礼智诚为真,德性角色伦理魂;心性政治不可分,内圣外王再创新;知识信仰究天人,道德主体儒学根。真诚性和创发性是其所要论述的道德主体性的根本,所谓"主体性"一般是指人的意识自觉性和能动性,而儒家对道德的高度真诚与笃信是其主体自觉性的极致,创发性是其能动性的最高体现。

Prof. Cheng Chungying is the representative figure of the third generation of New- Confucianism. He presented an academic report at School of Philosophy,Renmin University of China in the spring of 2016,which researched on the sincerity and creativity of Confucianism and on the three misconceptions as well as three corrections of Confucianism. In my opinion,the main content and new academic contributions of his academic report can be summarized by the following words and comments. Firstly,he elaborated his new insights by recalling the history of Confucianism and discussing the misunderstandings in contemporary academia. Secondly,sincerity is the foundation of Ren(humanity),Yi(justice),Li(propriety),Zhi(wisdom),while virtue and role are the cores of ethics. Thirdly,Ideological Confucianism and Political Confucianism from an indivisible whole,only by combining the theory of internal sage with external king can Confucianism create new domains in the future. Lastly,Confucianism is an informed belief in Prof. Cheng's report,and the supreme purpose of this belief is moral subject. All in all,the sincerity and creativity are the cornerstones for the subjectivity of Confucianism.
