Study On Mencius' View Of Justice And Interests

The relationship between justice and interests is a core issue in the history of Chinese ethical thoughts,and it is also a constant topic of debate in the history of Chinese ethical thoughts.Mencius lived during the spring and autumn period and the warring states period.As a master of Confucius' thoughts,mencius believed that it was acceptable to seek profits while valuing "righteousness".Influenced by the moral determinism thought of duke of zhou in the western zhou dynasty,he constantly developed and improved Confucius' thought and formed his unique view of justice and interests.Mencius' concept of righteousness and interests is based on the theory of goodness of nature.He opposed the theory of non-goodness and non-badness of nature,holding that human nature is inherently good and has "four hearts",which are the essential differences between human beings and animals.Mencius' view of valuing loyalty over money,the heavy righteousness,advocates the moment when necessary,the opposite of life and righteousness is also not in conflict,both can have it all,when the two couldn't have it all,the moment,the people with lofty ideals in the history of the sacrifice for righteousness as the noble is safeguarding the interests of the whole country and the national interests of patriotic and moral character,that moment is the backbone of the Chinese nation,is the Chinese nation for thousands of years of cultural treasures.This requires us to pay attention to self-cultivation in the moral level,that is,"rest assured" and raise the "noble spirit" can help us form the concept of righteousness and interests.At the same time,mencius' view emphasizes the heavy righteousness and not sarira,"benevolence" as the core,and the righteousness,further carry forward the spirit of benevolence,and mencius ethics thought is the core of "benevolence",in mencius' s view,moral qualities such as benevolence,righteousness,courtesy,wisdom,people are born with a "conscience" and "good",it is deeply rooted in the nature of people,if everyone is born with this kind of conscience,can good,can achieve self-improvement,the individual moral quality enhancement and the development of the society as a whole has played a vital role.Mencius' concept of justice and interests has established mencius' own theoretical system,which is an important model of deontological theory in ancient Chinese traditional culture.Meanwhile,it is also the essence and dominant of Confucian concept of justice and interests and has developed into the guidance and stereotype of Confucian thought of justice and interests.Therefore,later Confucian representatives such as xunzi,dong zhongshu and zhu xi inherited and improved mencius' concept of righteousness and interests.Of course,mencius' view of righteousness and interests is also mixed with the innate theory of human nature and the limitations of standing in the position of the ruling class.First of all,the good and evil of human nature is the result of learning,edification and education.Only through such learning,edification and education can it become good or evil,but it does not belong to man's natural nature.Secondly,his theory was not accepted by the rulers who wanted to seek hegemony at that time,and he always considered problems from the standpoint of the ruling class.Therefore,his thoughts were mainly for the ruling class.Although mencius' concept of righteousness and interests has some shortcomings,his idea of valuing righteousness over interests is the essence of our traditional culture,and the correct concept of righteousness and interests has become the guiding ideology of "One Belt And One Road",the road to peace and prosperity,and the prerequisite for realizing the great Chinese dream and the community of Shared future for mankind.In the market economy fast development of modern society,is conducive to form a healthy and orderly market economic order,but we get along with others in the social life of the basic moral principles and the bottom line,this to our country current socialist core values formation and implementation of the "Chinese dream" beautiful and enhance the moral ethical quality will be immeasurable influence.
