《论语》中体现孔子法律思想的核心就是仁和礼。其法律思想基于仁,实现仁则要靠礼去规范和强制。他把“天下归仁”作为最高的理想和目标,把礼作为仁的外在表现形式,礼、仁必须统一,以礼的准则来行仁,以仁的自觉来复礼,二者相互渗透、相互作用,达到完美统一,以此维系孔子的法律思想。 The “Analects of Confucius” reflects the core of Confucius’s legal thinking is the kernel of benevolence. The legal thinking is based on benevolence, and the realization of benevolence depends on rituals to regulate and coercion. He regards “giving the world all his people” as the highest ideal and goal, taking the ceremony as the external manifestation of the benevolence, the ceremony and the benevolence must be unified, the courtesy principle should be exercised, and the benevolence should be rehabilitated. Both of them permeate each other, Interaction, achieve the perfect unity, in order to maintain Confucius’s legal thinking.
