人类各大文明都有过愚昧、野蛮时期,但唯有西方发展出了更高级的形态。以此为基本背景,基于竞争视角,并运用程度区分法与相对价值法,可以发现:儒家虽然在中国古代发挥过巨大正面作用,但在涵盖社会生活的五个基本方面都远远落后于现代文化。当然,这并不意味着儒家毫无价值,它可作为道德儒学和心灵儒学而发挥作用。
All human civilizations have evolved from the period of ignorance and brutality, but only the West has developed a more advanced form. Based on the perspective of competition, and using degree distinction and relative-value method, this paper points out that Confucianism had played a huge positive role in ancient China, but in five basic aspects of social life, Confucianism is now far behind the modern culture.However, this does not mean that Confucianism is worthless; it can be used as moral Confucianism and spiritual Confucianism and plays an important role.
