摘要
圣人是中国文化中表征做人的最高典范的观念。孔子描述的圣人注重事功,具有崇高化和神秘化的特点。孟子把圣人转化为一种最高理想人格,其本质属性是人伦实践。孟子奠定了圣人的人性论依据;描述了不同类型的圣人形象,使圣人形象具有现实性和多样性;塑造了孔子圣智兼备的"至圣"形象。孟子对圣人观念的创造性转化确立了儒家圣人观念在中华文化中的主导地位,也使圣人观念在当代社会依然具有其价值。

Mencius＇ s creative transformation of Confucius viewpoint on the saint establishes the predominance of Confucianism saint in Chinese culture and makes it valued even in modern society.
