“己所不欲,勿施于人”一句选自《论语.颜渊》篇,教学用书对该句的解释是这样的:“自己不想要的东西,就不要施加给别人”。对于这一解释,笔者以为不大合乎情理:为什么自己不想要的东西就不可以施加给别人呢?难道在孔子生活的时代,自己不想要的东西给了别人就违背了道德标准或者社会伦理了吗?笔者将在本文中对这句话进行全新的阐述。 “Do not impose on others ” one sentence is from “Analects of Confucius.Yan Yuan” articles, teaching books to explain the sentence is this: “Do not want what you do not want to impose on others ”. For this explanation, I think it is not reasonable: why do not you want to do what they do not want to be applied to others? In the era of Confucius, what they did not want to give others violated moral standards or social ethics ? I will be in this article a new statement of this sentence.
