儒家文化自然化的两条路径

由于缺乏必要的宗教资源 ,儒家文化和中国古代其他文化形态一样 ,都求助于自然 ,使其本来人为设定的文化价值和理想自然化。儒家文化自然化有两条路径 :一是认为人类道德是生而有之的内向自然化路径 ,另一是认为人类道德来自天的外向自然化路径。这两条路径相辅相成 ,使儒家文化形成既内在地肯定人的感情、又将人的感情归之于天然内在超越的品格。

Two Paths for the Naturalization of Confucianist Culture

Due to the lack of necessary religious resources,Confucianist culture as any other ancient Chinese cultural forms turns to nature,which naturalizes the cultural value and ideals established by man. The naturalization of Confucianist culture has two paths: the inward naturalized path holding that man was born with morals and the outward one holding that human morals came from heaven. The complementary two paths make the Confucianist culture not only confirm inherently man's feelings but also attribute man's feelings to heaven's inner transcendence.
