荀子“信”伦理思想及其当代价值

摘要

荀子的“信”伦理思想是在战国语境下的产物，“人性恶”是其哲学基础，“群”是其基本支点。荀子认为“信”应该包括治国、社会和个人修身三个方面。但作为封建社会倡导的主要德性之一，“信”也不可避免地存在着局限之处。在现代社会，诚信是社会主义核心价值观的一个重要方面，加强诚信建设迫在眉睫。在构建社会主义核心价值观的过程中，我们一方面要从荀子“信”思想中借鉴积极成分，另一方面自觉突破其局限部分，使诚信成为人们内化的道德规范。%The faith ethics of Xuncius appeared in the Warring States Period.Humanity is basically evil is the philosophical foundation of faith ethics,and group is its basic supporting point.Xuncius believed that faith included ruling,society and personal practice.But as one of the main virtue in feudal society,faith has its inevitable limitation.In contemporary society,integrity is an important aspect of socialism core values,and it is extremely urgent to strengthen the integrity construction.In the process to construct socialism core values, the faith ethics of Xuncius could support a lot of enlightenment.On one hand we should draw active ingredients from Xuncius;on the other hand,we must break its limitations and internalize integrity to be our moral norms.
