儒家思想的奠基人之一孟子的思想博大精深,对他思想的阐释已有两千多年的历史,现在,人们还在他的思想资源里寻找营养。本论文论述了孟子思想中的自我意识,它以两个方向,即“人能成为什么”和“人能否创造自己的生活”来阐释这一点。论文以性善论为根基,以自我修养为主导来具体阐释他的宝贵思想。孟子既强调精神的自我超越,又强调在社会集体的土壤中获得自我完善的观念,在我们既追求民主,自由,又强调团结协助的社会中不是更应使之发扬光大吗? Mencius, one of the founders of Confucianism, has a profound and profound understanding of his thinking for more than two thousand years. Now, people are still looking for nutrients in his ideological resources. This essay discusses self-awareness in Mencius’s thought, which illustrates it in two directions, namely, “what can one become?” And “can one create one’s own life.” Papers based on goodness as the foundation, self-cultivation as the leading concrete interpretation of his precious ideas. Mencius emphasizes not only spiritual self-transcendence but also self-perfecting concepts in the soil of social collectives. Should not it be further promoted in a society where we are both seeking democracy and freedom and emphasizing solidarity and assistance?
