建构和解构：耶儒在张力中互动

儒家的"诚"和基督教的"信"这两个概念作为出发点,运行于各自的体系内.然而,这两个概念在人的生存上引导着完全不同的方向.因此,简单地谈论耶儒之间的异同关系必将流于从概念到概念的空谈,无助于我们理解两家在生存上的动力性关系.本文深入分析了这两个概念对人的生存导向之后发现,在儒家看来,建构一种道德价值体系作为生存的指导原则对于人的生存来说是必要的前提,而道德价值建构的出发点则只能是直接面对自身存在(即"诚");而基督教则无情地揭示了人在生存中无法摆脱自己加在自己头上的道德价值体系;任何道德价值体系都有其局限性;如果人没有力量打破其束缚,就无法建立新的道德规范,从而窒息于旧规范中;而打破束缚的力量在于上帝的恩典,通过人的信仰而成为人的内在力量.建构道德价值体系和解构道德价值体系对于人的生存来说具有重要的意义.因此,本文致力于论证,人的生存必须内在地拥有建构和解构的双重力量,而未来中国人必然是在这两种力量的张力中生存.

Construction and Deconstruction: The Interaction and Tension between Confucianism and Christianity

"Sincerity" in Confucianism and "faith" in Christianity have their own mechanisms. However, the two concepts are quite different in terms of guiding the human existence. Thus, only discussing the differences and similarities between the two will surely lead to the useless analysis of concepts and ignore the dynamic relation between the two. The paper concludes that Confucianism holds that the construction of a value system of morality as the guiding principle of existence is the necessary precondition of human existence while the point of departure for such construction is the direct confrontation with one's existence (that is, sincerity); Christianity reveals without mercy that man cannot get rid of the value system of morality and any moral system has its limitations. If man has no power to get rid of the shackles of the traditional morality, he cannot build a new one. This power is endowed to man by God and internalized through faith. The construction and deconstruction of the value system of morality has great significance to human existence. The paper tries to prove that human existence lies in the dual power of construction and deconstruction, and in the future the Chinese people will surely survive in the tension of the two powers.
