儒家诚信的内容及其改造

儒家把诚信看作人生之本,甚至立国治国之本。虽无这方面的专著,但几千年传承中,散见于历代思想家的论述真可谓汗牛充栋,形成了独特的内容和深厚的文化底蕴。其中深刻的思想和宝贵的智慧,对今天克服欺诈之类的恶信,重塑诚信,提供了可资借鉴的丰富经验和宝贵的思想文化资源。儒家的诚信其中固然有其难以超越的历史局限,但在现代化进程中经过改造,能够焕发出新的生命力。

The Content of the Confucian Honesty and its Transformation

The Confucians regarded honesty as the foundation of life and even the foundation of running a country. Though no monograph on honesty was published in the past several thousand years, such idea could be found in the works and speeches of the influential thinkers with their own content and rich cultural connotations, whose significance, with necessary transformation, will show great vitality in building an honest society today.
