孔子毕生以创建“仁学”伦理文化、丰富和发展传统周礼为己任 ,未将思考和阐发当时的法和“法制”问题作为自己主要的人生目标。政法不分的专制统治模式使他的“为政以德”主张合乎逻辑地具有“为政以法”(“为政以刑”)的特质 ,“为政以德”也合乎逻辑地含有“为法以德”的思想。从儒家伦理思想的基本特性和《论语》看 ,孔子不仅不“轻法”,而且对法和“法制”是给予充分肯定的。 In his life, Confucius did his duty to create ethics and culture of “benevolence” and to enrich and develop the traditional Zhou ceremony. He did not consider and elucidate the current law and “legal system” as his main goal in life. The autocratic rule mode of politics and law made his “advocating for the rule of virtue” a logical feature of “governing for the sake of politics” (“serving the government with punishment”), and “governing for virtue” also contains “ For the law and morality ”. From the basic characteristics of Confucian ethics and the Analects of Confucius, Confucius not only did not neglect the law, but also fully affirmed the law and the “legal system.”
