康有为对孟子思想的阐发和现代转换

康有为认定孟子得孔子大道,并且光大了孔子学说,具体表现为对《春秋》微言大义的阐发,弘扬仁和不忍人之心,提倡民主政治,传承大同之教等等。按照他的说法,孟子思想原本就是孔子思想的题中应有之义,这使《孟子》成为领悟孔子之道的入门书和必经之路。康有为对孟子思想的阐发与其孔教观一脉相承,是以孔子的名义进行的,实质上则是对孟子思想的现代转换。

Kang You- wei's Elucidation of Mencius and Modern Conversion

Kang You- wei held that Mencius had inherited Confucius thoughts and had promoted Confucius＇ doctrine. There were many specific performances, for example, the elucidation of the ＂ Spring and Autumn Annals＂ , the promotion of benevolence and unbearing heart, the advocacy of democracy, and inheritance of Datong thoughts. According to Kang, Meneius thoughts originated from Confucius thoughts, which made the ＂Mencius＂ the primer and the only way to comprehend Confucius. Kang You - wei＇ s elucidation of Mencius came down in one continuous line with his Confucian concept in the name of Confucius. In essence, it is a modern conversion of Mencius.
