倫理的游移─以儒家「過」的觀點，看當代企業的道德危機

The Wandering of Ethics- Examining the Moral Crises in Contemporary Enterprises Under the Concept of “Guo” in Confucianism

本文以當代企業的道德危機為主軸，思考現今當代社會，對儒家所主張的道德自覺意識之肯定的不確定性，即倫理的游移。此討論脈絡以儒家對於「過」的觀點為例，首先，分別引述《論語》中對過以及改過工夫的思考，以及明清之際大儒劉宗周在《人譜》中的過惡系統，接著，對當代企業如何處理「過」的問題進行反思，並相對提出儒家處理「過」的問題的幾個思考層面與之對應，最後，重新思考儒家所主張的道德自覺意識的必要性與意義。

This paper uses moral crises in contemporary enterprises as a case study to examine the idea of “the wandering of ethics” which is the uncertainty towards the Confucian idea of moral consciousness. Using the concept of guo in Confucianism as an example, the paper first examines the conception of the idea and its correction in the Analects, as well as the ledger system for recording misdeeds in the Confucian scholar Liu Zongzhou’s Manual for Man (Ren pu). The article proceeds to reflect upon how contemporary enterprises deal with guo and how that corresponds with Confucian ideas. The paper concludes by rethinking the necessity and significance of moral consciousness advocated by Confucianism.
