摘要
基督教伦理是一种“他力”伦理,以信仰为基础,凭借上帝的救赎力量来成就人的道德世界;儒家伦理则是一种“自力”伦理,认为人可以依靠自身的道德努力,在现世实现“天命在身”的超越追求。儒家伦理这种天命在身的情怀和自我的道德努力,一方面构成了儒家信念中的伟大要素和高贵的精神品格;另一方面,由于天命与人心的一体化,最终使得天命丧失了绝对超验的资格,使儒家对最高价值的追求陷入困境。因此,借鉴基督教的他力观念,反思自身的文化局限和观念缺失是很有意义的。
Contrasting with the concept of ＂other-dependence＂ in Christianity, the present paper describes the basic character of Confucian ethics with the concept of ＂self-dependence＂ that refers to a trend of human being in which human can obtain the transcendent goal of ＂heaven-destiny is on＇me＂ in this-world by way of moral self-perfecting. On one hand, this expectation of getting the heaven destiny within the body and the moral practice by oneself could form the great elements in Confucian belief and become its genuine spirits, and on the other hand, incorporating heaven-destiny and human mind into one body, it results in the failure of transcendent orientation of haven-destiny and thus the seeking for the greatest value of Confucianism has got into scrapes. So it is signification that reflecting on the restriction of Confucian thought and the default of its ideas through adopting the concept of ＂other-dependence＂ in Christianity.
