论《中庸》的天地精神

建构君子人格是儒家经典《中庸》的核心命题之一,而君子的人格有一套依据,其依据为天地精神。《中庸》不仅呈现了天与地的双重特性——自然性与精神性;还呈现了天地的内在精神:天人合一的世界原则、行动的理性原则、主体精神的内敛谦卑原则、仁爱的及物原则。多重内涵的天地精神不仅是《中庸》思想的重点,也是贯穿于中国古典文化的精神中、伦理信念以及哲学运思。

On the Spirit of Heaven and Earth in The Doctrine of the Mean

The construction of a gentleman's personality is one of the core propositions in the Confucian classic The Doctrine of the Mean.The personality of a gentleman has a set of basis,which is the spirit of heaven and earth.The Doctrine of the Mean not only presents the dual characteristics of heaven and earth:naturalness and spirituality,but also presents the inner spirit of heaven and earth,that is,the world principle of the unity of heaven and man,the rational principle of action,the principle of restraint and humility of the subject,and the principle of benevolence and transitivity.The spirit of heaven and earth with multiple connotations is not only the focus on the thought of The Doctrine of the Mean,but also the spirit,ethical belief and philosophical thinking that run through the Chinese classical culture.
