孟子的思想道德教育学说探析

Study on Mencius' Theory about Ideological and Moral Education

孟子是我国古代继孔子之后最著名的儒家学者。他身处战国中期的社会大变革时期,以“正人心,息邪说,距盶行,放淫词”为己任,“讲道德,说仁义”,建立起别具特色的思想道德教育学说体系。这个体系以“性善论”为其思想基础、以在“民本论”基础上建立起来的“仁政”说为其主要内容,以“反省内求”为其入德之方,把孔子的思想道德教育学说,推到了一个新高度,对我们民族的思想道德教育和文明进步产生了十分深远的影响。

Mencius was the most famous scholar of the Confucian School after Confucius. He lived in a changing age, the middle Warring States Periods. He took his duty as 'correcting biased or wrong thoughts and false reasoning, resisting partial behavior'. He advocated morality and virtue and had built a characteristic system of ideological and moral education. In the system, the main content was the thought of 'policy of benevolence', which based on the theory of 'original goodness of human nature' and the thought of that 'the people are the root'; the method to cultivate morality was 'self-examination and introspection'. Through the theory system, Mencius pushed the ideological and moral education of Confucian School to a new height, which had brought about great influence on our national ideological and moral education and civilization progress.
