先秦时期爱的伦理思想探析

通过对先秦时期儒、道、墨三家爱的伦理思想的历史考察，揭示仁爱——爱人、慈爱——爱自然和兼爱——爱天在先秦展开为一个合理的逻辑进程并表征为普遍的伦理观念。三家之爱兼括了其在人与人、人与社会层面的所有形式，并扩展到自然、宇宙中，从而使先秦时期爱的伦理思想的内涵更加丰富。但是，爱的伦理观念在先秦并未独立出来并表述一个相应的伦理世界，爱都有所依附，这就带来了人们对人类最基本感情——爱的理解的困难。

Exploring the Ethics as to Love in Pre-Qin Period

This paper explores the ethics as to love advocated by Confucians, Taoists, and Mohists in pre-Qin period, which are respectively condensed in the following three words：benevolence, pity, and humanity. It is argued that these three ethical views appeared in a reasonable and logical process, and represented a universal ethical value. These include human and social dimension in all its forms, and extended to nature, the universe, which enriched the meaning of the pre-Qin period love. However, the ethical concept of love in the pre-Qin was not independent and stated a corresponding ethical world;love was dependent, and this has brought people difficulties in understanding human＇s most basic feelings of love.
