民生主义与儒学

“民生主义”是三民主义学说中最具特色的部分,从其思想来因和理论源泉作一番比较研究,无疑对于我们今天建设和谐社会具有一定的启示作用。民生主义除受亚当.斯密和亨利、乔治等人的社会经济学说以及俄国社会主义的影响外,儒家大同思想也是不可忽视的来源之一。孙中山以民本思想为本位,从中国的实际出发,继承和创新了儒学的“经世致用”精神,注重社会物质和道德教化协调发展。

Principle of the People''''s Livelihood and Confucianism

The Principle of the People's Livelihood is one distinctive part of the Three People's Principles Theory,which was promoted by Sun Yat-sen nearly one hundred years ago,who was later regarded as Father of China.A contrastive analysis of cause and source of the theory will undoubtedly throw light upon the construction of harmonious socialism in today's China.This paper holds that the foundation and development of the Principle of the People's Livelihood was influenced by the west socioeconomics and the Russian socialism then,but one important source which can not be neglected is the ideology of Great Harmony from Confucianism.Sun Yat-sen based his theories on the people's interest and combined them with the practices in China.When he carried forward and renovated the Confucianism,he put much more emphasis on the balanced development of both material production and morality education.
