论孔子的政治思想

孔子的政治思想在中国封建社会中有重大的影响。孔子的政治思想主要表现为以“仁”、“礼”为中心内容的规范和治术,突出道德在政治统治中的作用。孔子所表达的政治理想是美好的,但提出的规范和治术均不切合实际,无实用价值。其要害在于孔子对人的行为规律缺乏基本的认识,其政治学说遂成为无的之矢。

On Confucius' Political Ideology

The feudal society in China was once greatly influenced by the Confucius' political ideology which is mainly embodied in the regulation and ruling tactics that are centered around "benevolence" and "rules of etiquette" for the purpose of putting emphasis on the role of morality in political control.The political ideal in Confucius mind is inspiring,but the regulation and ruling tactics do not fit in with the reality,hence without any practical value.Its crucial point lies in the fact that the understanding which Confucius had about the law of human behaviour was not adequate enough;therefore,his political theory became unavoidably "an arrow without a target".
