论王符的时间道德观

On Fu Wang’s Time Morality

摘要: 在中国传统的农耕社会，时间对于农业生产具有特殊的意义。以此为背景，王符的时间道德观从农时、“日力”、“人功”三个方面展开：首先，为时间管理找到一种原初的道德依据；其次，建立起与时间相联系的道德准则；最后，时间积淀下的实践凸显出人之主体精神。自此，农时、“日力”、“人功”在王符的思想中就形成了一个不可分割的连续过程，这种由时间意识主导的伦理关怀丰富了中国传统伦理道德的维度。

Abstract: In China’s traditional farming society, time has special significance for agricultural production. Under such background, Fu Wang’s time moral view is carried out from three aspects: agricultural season, “labor time” and “human power”. Firstly, it finds an original moral basis for time management. Secondly, we should establish a moral code related to time. Finally, the practice accumulated by time highlights the spirit of human subject. Since then, the agricultural season, “labor time” and “human power” have formed an inseparable continuous process in Fu Wang’s thoughts. This ethical concern dominated by time consciousness has enriched the dimension of traditional Chinese ethics.
