【摘要】 中有处中、时中、中和三个涵义。处中指未发的心灵状态,有先验性和形而上学性;时中既指人随时事的不同而采取不同的合乎正道的方法,也指人对正道的持守;中和是理想。庸在理论上和中是一体的,尽管文字上不同。中庸之道和亚里士多德的中道概念是相异点多于相似处。更多还原

【Abstract】 Zhong is endowed with three meanings,namely,equilibrium,focus and harmony.Equilibrium stands for the moment at which the individual is in a peaceful state of mind,and it is of transcendental and metaphysical characteristics.Focus refers to the appropriate methods adopted by individuals to be in line with Dao(the proper way),and it also refers to the persistence of individuals to Dao.Harmony is the ideal.Theoretically,Yong is equal to Zhong.Zhongyong(the doctrine of the mean) differs from the Golden Mean proposed by Aristotle because the doctrine of the mean is different from the principle of excluded middle.更多还原
