杨朱素被视为极端利己主义者而含诟千古,全因人们对“拔一毛而利天下,不为也”这句话的误读所致。其实,从法学的角度解读杨朱思想,可以挖掘出两方面极具积极价值的内涵一是个人本位与个体权利意识;一是对君主制的挑战与反叛。杨朱思想在中国传统文化中具有特殊意义,值得珍视。 Yang Jusu was regarded as an egoistic ego and was deeply denounced by the whole nation because of the misunderstanding of the phrase “pulling a hair and benefiting the world and not being”. In fact, to interpret Yang Zhu’s thinking from the perspective of law can dig out the connotation of two aspects that are of great positive value. First, the awareness of individual standard and individual rights. The first is the challenge and rebellion against the monarchy. Yang Zhu’s thought has special significance in Chinese traditional culture and deserves to be cherished.
