儒家伦理与传统医德

中国传统医学道德深受长期占统治地位的儒家思想影响,在注重道德教化和崇尚纲常伦理的儒家文化氛围中,孕育出源远流长的优秀医学道德,使得医家与儒家有着非同一般的亲缘关系。“仁爱救人”、“医乃仁术”便是儒家仁爱思想的体现。仁爱原则既是儒家伦理思想的核心,也是传统医德思想的核心。

Confucian Morals and Traditional Medical Ethics

The traditional Chinese medical ethics has been deeply influenced by the dominant Confucianism. The atmosphere of Confucian culture, which emphasizes moral teaching and hierarchical relationship, has cultivated the tradition of medical ethics that has a long history and introduced an unusually intricate relationship between medical practitioners and confucianists. The theories of "curing people with benevolence "and "medicine is humane art" are the exact embodiment of the Confucian humane ideas. The principle of benevolence is the core of both Confucianism and traditional medical ethics.
