儒家思想的主体性特征及当代意义

儒家的内在超越指儒家能够通过道德使得人生具有超越性，强调道德能够提供价值信仰，它源于并集中反映了儒家思想的主体性特征。但是，儒家思想的主体性特征必须放到启蒙以来现代性背景下讨论才有意义。儒家的主体性既可对接现代性，建立现代社会政治制度，也可克服西方启蒙以来的出现价值虚无主义、道德相对主义等现象，还具有西方近代以来的“公民宗教”功能，这些都是儒家主体性的时代意义。

Subjective Characteristics of Confucianism and Its Contemporary Significance

Inner - transcendence of Confucians means that morality helps individuals to achieve transcendence, and it emphasi- zes that the belief is based on ethics. It is derived from and epitomizes the Subjective Characteristics of Confucianism. However, the discussion about the Subjective Characteristics of Confucianism is meaningful only when it is put under the background of the modernity since the enlightenment. Confucian Subjectivity corresponds well with modernity and functions well in social and politi- cal systems. It will overcome the shortcomings of value nihilism and moral relativism phenomenon in Western countries and will play the role of ＂civil religion＂.
