当代儒学的四大使命

摘要

Contemporary Confucianism seems to engage itself in many undertakings, among which, however, four tasks are the most pressing:collation of Confucian doctrines, moralization of common people, social criticism, and value implementation. Only a systematic collation of Confucian doctrines can define their characteristics and weaknesses to promote the development of Confucianism; only moralization, by encouraging common people to approach and accept Confucianism, can integrate it into their life;only social criticism, by allowing Confucianism to publicize openly and completely its attitude to the society, can re-present its philosophical features;and only value implementation, by putting Confucian significance in force for the change and sublimation of social affairs, can build Confucian ideal.%　　当代儒学事业看上去忙忙碌碌，但终归起来，其实这四件事可能是最紧迫的：义理的梳理、百姓的教化、社会的批判、价值的落实。只有将儒学的义理系统、脉络加以梳理，才能找到儒学义理的特点与不足，才能推动儒学的发展；只有展开对百姓的教化，让百姓亲近、接受儒家思想，才能使儒家思想浸入生活；只有对社会的批判，让儒学公开地、彻底地宣扬自己对社会的态度，才能体现儒家思想的哲学特质；只有使儒学的价值得到落实，让儒学意义实现对社会事务的改变与升华，才能构建儒家的理想。
