摘要
柏拉图与孟子共同关注善的问题,不同的是柏拉图引导西方哲学走向知识论,孟子引导中国哲学走向功夫论。论证实质是柏拉图从真理情结出发走向了求善之路,并把求善问题转化成为真理认识论问题,他的求善之路可以表达为:认识真正的善,真正的善即真理。作为对比,孟子从善的定义出发走向体善之路。孟子把体善问题转化为功夫论问题,这种体善之路可以表达为:通过定义"仁义礼"来完成至善。他们的共同结论是:生存即善。
Plato and Mencius all attempted to illuminate the institutes of good. Plato led western philosophy to epistemology,while Mencius influenced Chinese philosophy to self- cultivation. Driven by the feeling of truth,Plato searched the true good under the reason and regarded the true good as a thing that can only be obtained in reason.In contrast,Mencius believed human nature is good; the right way to reach good is follow their good nature,which can be revealed when one sincerely faces oneself by self- cultivation. Mencius redefined benevolence( 仁),righteousness( 义) and sincerity( 诚). Both of the Philosophies are based on the human existence. The essential of existence is good.
