阳明心学对内在人格养成与社会伦理建设的正向价值

The Positive Value of Yangming’s Confucianism on the Cultivation of Inner Personality and the Construction of Social Ethics

摘要: 当代社会心态问题日益凸显，焦虑、对立与疏离等负面情绪广泛蔓延，映现出个体价值尺度的外在化与公共精神的消解。阳明心学以“心即理”为本体论根基，以“知行合一”为实践法则，为化解上述困境提供了内在驱动的解决路径。从个体自洽、人际共情与社会担当三个维度，系统阐析“致良知”在日常生活中的具体实践机制：个体层面通过价值尺度的内转重构精神原点，人际层面经由克己共情消解对立，公共层面则以职业良知激发责任自觉。

Abstract: Contemporary social mentality issues have become increasingly prominent, with negative emotions such as anxiety, antagonism, and alienation becoming widespread. These phenomena reflect the externalization of individuals’ value standards and the erosion of public spirit. Grounded in the ontological proposition that “the mind is principle” (xin ji li) and guided by the practical doctrine of “the unity of knowing and acting” (zhi xing he yi), Yangming’s School of Mind offers an internally driven approach to addressing these dilemmas. This paper systematically analyzes the concrete mechanisms through which the “extension of innate moral knowledge” (zhi liangzhi) may be practiced in everyday life from three dimensions: individual self-consistency, interpersonal empathy, and social responsibility. At the individual level, it reconstructs one’s spiritual foundation through the internalization of value standards; at the interpersonal level, it mitigates antagonism through self-restraint and empathy; and at the public level, it fosters a conscious sense of responsibility through professional conscience.
