关于现今老年学,西方社会学已提出数家老年学理论,儒学领域则多从孝道及养老思想进行讨论,然皆有所限制,故拟将西方老年学理论与儒家观点进行对话,尝试建构一套儒家的老年学理论。先秦儒家的老年学,既能正视老年期的生理限制,又能安而不忧,致力道德实践。不仅为老年世代提供可行的安身立命法门,也为青、壮世代提出当下安立及面对老年的实践方向:一、自觉本心、好学修德,实现义命;二、孝亲敬老;三、面对未来衰老不忧不惧;四、将道德实践视为终身使命。透过建立正确观念及伦理道德实践来面对老年课题,乃先秦儒家对现今老年学发展的重要贡献。
With regard to present-day gerontology, Western sociology has proposed several theories of gerontology. In the field of Confucianism, however, it discusses more about filial piety and the concept of old-age care, but all have limitations. Therefore, it is proposed that the western theory of geriatrics should be in dialogue with Confucianism and try to construct one Confucianism theory of gerontology. Confucianism in pre-Qin Confucianism can not only address the physiological limitations of old age, but also peace and contentment, commitment to moral practice. Not only for the elderly generations to provide viable ways to settle down, but also for the youth, Zhuang generation on the current Anritsu and the face of the practical direction of the elderly: First, self-conscious Benjamin, studious, to achieve their lives; Second, filial respect for the elderly; Third, the surface No worries about the future aging; Fourth, the moral practice as a lifelong mission. Confronting the issue of the elderly by establishing a correct concept and ethics and morality is an important contribution Confucianists make to the development of present-day gerontology.
