近几十年来,国内外的心理学界对幸福感的关注越来越多。西方学者已将幸福研究的起源追溯到古希腊时代。同样,中国古代先哲也有大量对幸福或类似概念的见解阐述。分析儒家“乐”思想和当代幸福感两者之间的差异性和相关性,可以展望当今的幸福感研究对个体、社会及国家的意义。 In recent decades, psychologists at home and abroad have paid more and more attention to happiness. Western scholars have traced the origins of the study of happiness to the ancient Greek era. In the same vein, ancient Chinese philosophers also gave a large amount of explanations on the concepts of happiness or similar concepts. Analyzing the differences and correlations between Confucianism, “music” and contemporary sense of happiness, we can look forward to the significance of today’s study on happiness to individuals, society and nation.
