摘要
恒德久远 ,择乎中行 ,是孔子道德修养论和儒家处世哲学中的思想精髓。孔子认为一个人如果要坚持道德修养 ,而没有“恒德”和“中行”这两点作支撑 ,就很难达于道德修养的最高境界。要做到道德操守的恒久持一 ,就必须择乎中行 ,只有中行而不走向极端 ,才可以持之久远。孔子的道德修养论虽然具有积极地进取性和斗争性的一面 ,但更注重在伦理道德思想中建立一种相互制约的平衡机制 ,并始终把中庸精神看做是这一平衡机制的核心和其道德精神的最高诉求。
Developing a Lofty Mode of Morality and Behaving to the Golden Mean is the highlight of Confucius’s view of self-possession and Confucian philosophy of life. Confucius thought that, if a person maintains moral accomplishment but fails to develop a lofty mode of morality and behave to the golden mean, then he cannot hope to attain the loftiest goal of moral accomplishment. To steadily develop one’s lofty mode of morality is to behave to the golden mean; to behave to the golden mean not to the extreme is to maintain the lofty mode of morality. Active and progressive as Confucius’s view of moral accomplishment, it puts more focus on establishing an mutually-binding principle of control and always regards the concept of the golden mean as the key of the principle of control and the loftiest goal of its moral conception.
