毛泽东的道德理想主义

毛泽东深受儒家传统"内圣外王"理想模式的影响,尽管"内圣"与"外王"的具体内涵不同于传统儒家,但思维方式和价值观念有着惊人的相似:都注重主体内在的道德修养,突出人的主观能动性,强调改造主观思想世界,并由此导致外在客观世界的改造,即内圣则外王,内圣是外王之本。但这种理论过于理想化,在实践中也一再碰壁。

Mao Zedong's Moral Idealism

Mao Zedong is deeply influenced by the doctrine "saint inside and king outside" of the Confucius, pays attention especially to inner moral accomplishment of the subjects, emphasizes their subjective activity and the reformation of their subjective world in order to achieve the reformation of objective world, i.e. to be a king outside by being a saint inside, and to be a saint inside is the origin of being a king outside. Mao's theory is too idealistic to be successful in the reality.
