如今人们普遍认为，儒家世界观更加看重的是人际关系，而不是个体。 一些人进一步断言： 儒家假定人是由其关系构成的。 推崇这种观点的人们眼中的优点是一些人批评的目标，批评者们担忧在不尊重个性、自由和平等的关系中存在支配和压迫的威胁。 虽然人际关系毋庸置疑地具有发展和维持人道的价值，并且攸关伦理的生活，但是包括从伦理的角度来看，现实的关系也可能以各种方式功能失常。 在儒家的关系之人格的假设和诸关系之和谐的承诺中，功能失常的关系的危害是否被给予足够的重视？ 本文将通过考察先秦文献中对现实家庭关系的论述来回答这个问题，并进一步反思关系性在儒家伦理学中的地位。

It is now widely accepted that the Confucian world view is one that privileges human relationships over individualistic concerns. Some go further to assert that Confucianism assumes that the human person is constituted by her relationships. What its admirers see as strength is the target of criticisms by those who worry about the threat of domination and oppression in relationships which do not respect individuality, freedom, and equality. While human relationships undoubtedly have significant value in developing and maintaining our humanity and are important to ethical life, real relationships could also be dysfunctional in various ways, including when viewed from an ethical perspective. Are the harms of dysfunctional relationships given sufficient weight in Confucian assumption of relational personhood and commitment to harmony in relationships? This paper will seek an answer to the question by examining the discussions of actual family relationships in the pre-Qin texts and reflect further on the place of relationality in Confucian ethics.
