法律西化背景下对儒学的双重苛求——关于《孟子》中舜的两个案例能否称为腐败的再思考

Hypercriticism of Confucianism in the Context of Westernization of Law

《孟子》所虚构的舜的两个案例充分体现了儒家伦理法的特点,所隐含的价值选择取向至今仍有重要意义,并与当今西方一些主要法律条文所体现的倾向不谋而合,绝对不应以腐败相论。刘清平将其判为腐败,是以对西方法律思想误解为基础的对儒学在空间和时间上的双重苛求。

The two cases of Shun in Mencius represent the characteristics of Confucius ethical laws and embody the value orientation, a significant issue in the present case, which is also expressed in Western major laws. Thereby the two cases should not be considered as corruption, as Mr. Liu Qingping put forwarded. His argument is based on the misunderstanding of the western laws and is too harsh on Confucianism.
