摘要
孟子的政治思想不仅像孔子的正名思想那样界定社会中不同角色的职责,而且有所突破,更强调各角色间的平等关系,具有契约精神。从社会契约论的视角,可将其看作一种"内在的契约"。它有五个主要特点:"契约"中各主体的平等是内在德性根基上的平等;"契约"所保障的是一个实现人内在德性完善而不是外在物欲满足的社会;"契约"的执行主要依靠内在的道德自觉而不是外在的强制;保障"契约"施行的责任主要落在士阶层身上;"契约"不是为了维护君主的统治,而是为了保障人民的利益。
Mencius emphasizes an equal relationship between people more than Confucius who just defines different social role.Mencius has a spirit of contract,so we can regard his political thought as an inherent social contract theory.It has five main characteristics.First,the equal footing between contract parties bases on each one＇s headstream of inherent virtue.Second,the contract protects such a society in which people try to find virtue but not to make wealth.Third,the implementation of the contract depends on people＇s self-consciousness but not violence.Fourth,the responsibility to defend the contract rests on the Shi social class.Fifth,the contract defends the people＇s interests rather than those of monarch.
