"仁"与"众善"

"仁"是孔子思想体系的核心.孔子以"一以贯之"评价自己的学说,何晏在<论语集解>中也作了进一步阐释,客观上指出了孔子学说的思想核心与其繁富学问的联系:以"仁"为核心建构起伦理学、天命观、人才观等众多内容,它们依"仁"而立,为"仁"而成,在"仁"的统摄下形成了一个包含多元因素、多种内容层次的思想体系,共同为平定乱世、重建社会秩序而服务.孔子和何晏的阐释有助于从一个全新的视角去理解"仁"的内涵.

"Benevolence" and "Public Philanthropy"

"Benevolence" is the heart of Confucian ideology. Confucius evaluated his own theory as "It ran through his entire teachings". In his Collected Commentaries on the Analects of Confucius,He Yen also gave it a further explanation. It pointed out objectively the connections between the ideological heart of Confucian doctrine and his prolific scholarship, namely, to take benevolence as the heart to build the ethics, the viewpoint of Divine Providence, viewpoint of talented people and numerous other contents. They existed steadily in the light of benevolence, they succeeded for benevolence and under the control of benevolence, they formed an ideological system which included multielements, multiple contents and levels. They jointly served the goal of pacifying the turbulent times and rebuilding the public order. Therefore, the explanations by Confucius and He Yen helped us to understand the connotations of benevolence.
