董仲舒仁义之学的特殊性

董仲舒的儒学是天学,但惟有日用伦常才是董学的真正归宿。董仲舒强调“五常”始终是帝王执事和国家政治追求的目标。《春秋繁露》里,董仲舒把“仁”解为“天心”, 仁的根据不在人自身,而在于天。董仲舒还指出,“仁在爱人,义在正我”。在道德实践的具体操作中,仁发于外,惠及广远。而义则发于内,从我做起,严格自律。这显然已与先秦以来各家学派“血亲为本”的仁义主张形成了鲜明比照。

The Particularity of The Theory on Humanity and Duty of DONG Zhong - shu

For The Confucianism of DONG Zhong - shu, in despite of its theory is on the heaven, the end - result of which is the routine moral human relations. In his literature, he interpreted Humanity as "The Feeling of Heaven", the foundation of Humanity is not on the human being but on the Heaven. He also pointed out that Humanity is the love to others and the Duty is the criterion to self. The Theory of DONG made a vivid contraposition to the theory on Humanity and Duty of the Schools since the period of pre - Qin Dynasty which emphasize on the fundamentality of consanguinity.
