孟子道德情感的心理透析

孟子哲学是求善的哲学."亲亲而仁民,仁民而爱物"是他的崇高理想,"穷则独善其身,达则兼善天下"是他的处世原则,"舍生取义"、"杀身成仁"是他的一贯精神.这种道德情感一方面是对当时战争频仍、民不聊生的社会现实的否定和反叛,另一方面也是与其严格的道德自律、"孳孳为善"的精神追求分不开的.本文对孟子的研究,是将标志其本质特征的道德情感置放于当时社会历史进程和复杂曲折的心路历程之中,试图一方面动态地考察深刻影响他的文化环境和文化氛围,另一方面也辩证地审视他的深层心理结构,展示成就其道德情感的强大意志力量,从而把早已被"蒸发"为干巴巴的哲学原理与政治信念象征符号的孟子还原为处于多维文化视野之中的生命之躯,当作一个时代的文化心态来展开解剖,从而有助于更深刻真实地认识孟学的文化底蕴.

Meng Zi's philosophy is to pursue goodness.His lofty ideal is to love all nature and people as well as his blood relations.His principle of life is to pay attention to his own moral uplift when he is in destitute,and to benefit all the people in the world when in success.His consistent spirit is to lay down for a just cause,and to die to achieve virtue-die for the just cause.This kind of moral emotion actually negates and revolts the social reality of chaos caused by the constant wars at that time.On the other hand,it is also close to his strict self control and the spirit of pursuing goodness.The article tries to resume the "Meng Zi" which is regarded as a symbol signal of politics to a real person who lives in a cultural life,which will contribute to understand the cultural intension of Confucian more deeply .
