儒家仁学与普遍伦理

儒学是世界上少有的几个历史悠久、积蕴丰厚、影响巨大的思想化体系之一，它可以与基督教化、伊斯兰教化、印度教与佛教化相并立。儒家仁学，也可称为仁爱通和之学，是儒学的精华，最具有普世性，它可以为人类普遍伦理提供重要的思想基础。仁爱之心是一铆道德行为的基石，培养爱心，扩充爱心，是建设道德明的基础性工程，建设普遍伦理最紧迫、最因难的任务是将爱心扩充到全人类。儒家强调“四海之内皆兄弟”，视天下犹一家，人类只有具备了此种情感和意识，普遍伦理建设才能顺利进行。同样，通和之学用之于道德，便要求打破以部为空的狭隘性，淡化族群仇恨心理，实现真正的博爱。总之，儒家仁学，包括它的仁爱通和之学，会为普遍伦理的建设提供有价值的理念。

The Confucian Doctrine of Ren and Universal Ethic

Confucianism is one of the few ideological and cultural systems in the world that have a long history, a rich content and an enormous influence. It can be placed on a par with Christianism, Islamism, Hinduism and Buddhism. The Theory of Benevolence is the essence of Confucianism, which, with its universality, can provide an important ideological basis for the universal ethnics of mankind. Benevolence is a footstone of all moral behaviors, the cultivation and expansion of which, therefore, becomes the fundamental project of the construction of moral civilization. The most urgent and difficult task in the construction of universal ethics is to extend people's benevolence to mankind at large. Only when people are filled with the consciousness as advocated by Confucianism, that is, to treat everyone as their families, can the construction of universal ethnics be smoothly carried out. In a word, the Benevolence Theory of Confucianism provides a valuable conception to the construction of universal ethnics.
