从孔孟仁学到民主仁学--儒学的回顾与展望

从思想史的演变轨迹看,儒学自问世以来经历了先秦子学、汉唐经学、宋明理学、清代实学、近现代儒学和当代新儒学等六种型态变化.但其基本思想模式可归纳为三种理论型态一为"传统型的古代儒学";二为"应对型的近现代新儒学";三为"变革型的后现代新儒学".这种新儒学从民主化、多元化、知识化、全球化的时代背景出发寻求儒学的定位,它既非"中体西用",亦非"西体中用",而是"新体新用"的革新儒学,其思想模式,可以概括为"民主仁爱为体,科技法制为用"的民主仁学.

From Confucianism Kindness Theory to Democratic Kindness Theory --Retrospect and Prospect on Confucianism

In a critical review of history of Chinese Confucianism, this article explores the future development of Chinese Confucianism and the style of its theory in the new century. The theory of Confucianism has gone through six changes from zixue(theory of zi) in the Xiangqing period, jinxue(theory of jin) in the Han and Tang dynasties, lixue(theory of li) in the Song and Ming dynasties, shixue(theory of practice) in the Qing dynasty, modern ruxue and new ruxue today. However, there are three kinds of theories, i.e. the traditional ancient ruxue as \!ren ben li yong\", the modern new ruxue as \!wei xin ren xue\" and the new modern ruxue as \!zhong ti xi yong\", and the reformed post modernism new ruxue being a reformed ruxue of \!xin ti xin yong\" (new system, new application). Its thinking style can be summarized as democratic renxue with the system of democracy and kindness, and application of science, technology and laws.
