孔子的仁、礼观念并及儒家的历史命运

孔子创立仁的哲学 ,赋予人生以伦理的意义 ,这是对中国思想史最伟大的贡献之一 ;同时 ,他又改造周礼 ,并结合春秋时期的实际特点 ,创造性地将礼的观念 ,从阶级政治的意义 ,转换为纯粹的伦理规范 ,开创了中国历史上真正的以伦理为核心的人文主义时代。但其可行性却受到中国历史实际的阻隔 ,仁政的理想与专制主义者们牟利计功的欲望相冲突 ,其结果儒家成了中国传统政治祭坛上的牺牲者。

Benevolence and Ceremony of Congfucius and Destine of the Confucianists

It was one of the greatest contributions towards Chinese thinking history that Congfucius founded philosophy of beneiolenee and endowed human life with enthcal; Meanwhile, dealing with Ceremony(Li) in the light of specific conditions in the Spring and Autumn Period, remoudlded the Ceremony of Zhou(ZhouLi) and creatively transformed it from the meaning of class politics into pure moral prinsples, which ushered in a real humanism epoch with the kernel of ethics in the Chinese history. But, because of the conflict between the ideal of benevolent government and desire of seeking profit and honour of despotiom, its feasibility was handicaped by the Chinese historical reality. So,in the end, the Confucianists became the victim of Chinese traditional political sacrificial altae.
