儒学,作为一种在中国历史上长期占据统治地位的政治意识形态,曾对塑造中华民族的民族精神和造就“国民劣根性”起过巨大作用。虽然它的统治时代早已结束,但其影响至今犹在,仍有一定的生命力。今天,人们争论的焦点,已不再是儒学在现代社会生活中有无作用的问题,而是儒学能否重新焕发出新的活力并为现代化服务的问题。全盘否定者固然有之,寄予厚望者亦不乏其人。二者的答案虽然相反,但有一共通之点,那就是对儒学的本质及其在现代社会生活中的地位与作用缺乏正确的评估和准确的定位。
Confucianism, as a political ideology that has long enjoyed a dominant position in Chinese history, played an enormous role in shaping the national spirit of the Chinese nation and in creating “the bad character of the nation.” Although the era of its rule has long been over, its impact still exists and there is still some vitality. Today, the focus of debate is no longer the question of whether Confucianism has any role in the modern social life, but whether Confucianism can renew its vitality and serve the modernization. Although there are certainly omnipotent people, there are also many who have high hopes. The two answers, on the contrary, have one thing in common, that is, they lack proper assessment and accurate orientation of the nature of Confucianism and its status and role in modern social life.
