“中庸”之為至德

Complete Virtue in the Doctrine of the Mean

摘要


本文把儒家的道德論看作是一個有相關層次的逐步深入和落實的德性論系統和道德教育系統,指出「中庸」是儒家的整體道德精神“「中」是一種價值未始狀態,必須通過「用中」的過程才能成就「中庸」之德,而「用中」就是要達到「禮用之和」,才能體現和涵育「未發之中」的全體性和中正無偏性。本文闡述了人心之「中」和天道之「誠」的對應和溝通,指出了「中庸」之德的極境是使天道之「誠」轉化為人之「至誠」,並認為「中庸」之德深厚而不尖刻,堅定而不急切,是人的德性所在和深厚涵養,最後發掘了「中庸」至德的現代價值。

並列摘要


This article considers Confucian Ethics as related to a step by step process into a moral system and an ethical educational system. It points out that the Doctrine of the Mean” encompasses the whole of the Confucian moral spirit. This article contends that “zhong” is an undeveloped value state. It must go through a process of “implementation” in order to achieve virtue as stated in the “Doctrine of the Mean”. The goal of this implementation is to achieve “the harmony of using the li”. This achievement would then embody the complete and non-biased character of the “undeveloped harmony”. This then appears as a communication between “harmony” in the mind and “sincerity” in the Dao of heaven. The ultimate realm of virtue in the “Doctrine of the Mean” comes from sincerity of the Dao of heaven being implanted as the “utmost sincerity” in man. Virtue in the “Doctrine of the Mean” is replete without being ruthless, and steady without being anxious. It is the cultivation of a person’s morality. The last part of this article abstracts modern values from the notion of “ultimate virtue”.
