The Modern Transformation of Pre-qin Confucian Ethics of Responsibility

Abstract

The pre-Qin Confucian responsibility ethics takes "harmony" as the value appeal, "courtesy" as the system guarantee, and responsibility consciousness as the internal requirement, pursuing the moral realm of "honesty". They have achieved remarkable results in the implementation of the guarantee responsibility, and cultivated a group of people with lofty ideals who take the world as their own responsibility. With the advent of the stranger society, the rapid development of science and technology and the deep popularity of the idea of rights, the pre-Qin Confucian ethics of responsibility will inevitably encounter some challenges in modern times. In the absence of responsibility and the lack of responsibility consciousness of social members are becoming increasingly serious, it is a feasible path for the transformation of traditional Confucian responsibility ethics to establish the concept of benevolence responsibility, adhere to the responsibility standard and give play to the value guiding role of pre-Qin Confucian responsibility ethics.
