中国儒家人权意识与现代人权思想

儒家文化一直是中国传统文化的重要柱石,其核心内容是"仁",并在这一基础上儒家倡导民本、民贵、朴素的平等观及"和为贵"的大同世界,这些思想中蕴含了丰富的人权意识,对现代人权思想的产生与发展具有非常重要的作用。但是,由于历史的局限性及阶级性,儒家人权意识并未发展成现代意义上的人权概念和理论。我们在实践中应该一方面弘扬儒家的优秀传统文化以及人权意识,一方面要汲取、融合西方文化中的优秀部分,结合自己的国情,发展现代人权理论,推动中国人权事业和国际人权事业的向前发展。

Chinese Confucian Human Rights Consciousness and Modern Human Rights Ideas

Confucian culture has long been the backbone of the Chinese traditional culture, 'benevolence' being the most essential.On its basis,Confucianism advocates a series of ideas such as a severe sense of equality and a common world with the great harmonious coexistence of diverse peoples as the core.These ideas imply abundant sources of human rights senses,and have a great potential effect on the formation and development of modern concepts and ideas concerning human rights.However,due to the historical and class limitations,the Confucian consciousness of human rights hasn't developed into a complete set of modern human right theories and concepts.We should carry forward the splendid heritage and human rights consciousness in the Confucian culture;meanwhile,we should absorb the excellent parts in the western culture and integrate them with our own characteristics,develop our modern human rights theory,and push forward the human rights construction of our country.
