Abstract:
This paper offers a comparative analysis of the notion of trust in Hegel and Confucius. It shows that Hegel’s two sense of trust (Zutrauen and Vertrauen) depend upon his theory of recognition and recognitive struggle. The competitive thrust of Hegel’s account of trust, it argues, introduces a series of problems that cannot be adequately resolved within his theory, since it presupposes the kinds of trusting relations -- self-, intersubjective- and world-trust – that it purports to explain. The paper then turns to the Confucian notions of xin and li to address the problems in the Hegelian account. It concludes by outlining the Confucian account’s salience for critical social and political theory.

摘要：这篇论文对黑格尔与孔子对信任这一观念进行了比较分析。文章表明黑格尔对信任两种意义的阐述（信任与信赖）取决于他的“认识与认知具有斗争性”理论。然而，黑格尔有关信任的解析却引发了一系列其理论无法充分适用解决的问题。这是因为他的理论以信任为先决条件，即自我、主体以及试图阐述的对世界的信任感。文章随后提及孔子的信礼观，并以此应对黑格尔理论中的问题。最后本文概述了儒家对于批判性的社会政治理论所做出的贡献。
