庶民儒学发展的新视角——以反“优绩主义”与“足够好生活”为中心

New Perspectives on the Development of Commoner Confucianism—Centering on “Anti-Meritocracy” and “The Good Enough Life”

摘要: 本文以梁涛教授的“庶民儒学”理论为基点，融合桑德尔教授的优绩主义批判、阿尔伯特的“反卷社会”理念以及莱考夫的语言框架理论，对当代社会中的资源分配困境与文化叙事进行哲学审视。文章论证了优绩主义是如何蜕变为一种掩盖结构性不公的意识形态，并通过重新阐释“足够好生活”的概念，为庶民儒学注入当代视野。庶民儒学不仅肯定庶民对基本物质利益的权利，更强调多元价值实现路径的必要性，从而对抗优绩主义霸权带来的社会撕裂。笔者旨在探索儒家思想与现代性困境的对话路径，从而为构建包容性社会提供理论资源。

Abstract: This paper builds upon Professor LiangTao’s theory of “Commoner Confucianism” and integrates Micheal Sandel’s critique of Meritocracy, Avram Alpert’s anti-involution concept, and George Lakoff’s framing theory to conduct a philosophical examination of the resource allocation dilemmas and culture narratives in contemporary society. It demonstrates how meritocracy has degenerated into ideology that masks structural inequalities, and reinjects a contemporary perspective into Commoner Confucianism through a reinterpretation of “good enough life.” Commoner Confucianism not only affirms the common people’s right to basic material benefits but also emphasizes the necessity of multiple paths to value realization, thereby countering the social fragmentation caused by meritocratic hegemony. This research aims to explore the dialogue path between Confucian thought and the predicaments of modernity, providing theoretical resources for constructing an inclusive society.
