历史上孟子一直被误解为“迂远而阔于事情”。其实,孟子的思想是非常注重实际的,尤其是他的伦理主张,更强调物质生活和人们的生存环境对道德行为的影响。孟子认为贴近日常生活的道德才是正常的,他坚持从生活来理解道德,其伦理思想体现出浓郁的生活气息。 Historically, Mencius has been misunderstood as “far-reaching but wider than things.” In fact, Mencius’s thought is very practical, especially his ethical ideas, more emphasis on material life and people’s living environment on the moral behavior. Mencius believes it is normal for morality to be close to daily life. He insists on understanding morality from his life, and his ethics reflects a rich life style.
