本文針對《禮記》道德哲學，作一總體考察，首先釐清道德哲學之界域及內涵，在規範倫理學及功利主義倫理學之外，也可兼從德行倫理學的角度思考，認為三種立場皆各有所見，因為儒學既重視道德動機的純正，也重視行為結果的善成；同時對於人格養成，即如何培養德行卓越的人，也同樣重視；而這第三種向度，頗適合作為研究《禮記》道德哲學的切入點。本論分別從以下三個層面考察《禮記》道德哲學：其一，《禮記》論修身之道及君子之仁義德養，以《中庸》、《大學》的修身之道，及〈表記〉、〈坊記〉的仁義思想作為立論依據。其二，《禮記》的禮樂教育與人格教育，以〈哀公問〉之禮教，〈經解〉、〈文王世子〉之經典教化及〈禮運〉、〈樂記〉之調節人情，作為考察重點。其三，《禮記》在人格教育上之實踐印證，從〈學記〉、〈冠義〉、〈昏義〉說明對於成人之教的重視，再從〈曲禮〉、〈儒行〉察考君子人格的典範驗證。儒家道德哲學的特色，即在於政治社會組織的肯定及其實踐旨趣，此即內聖外王之道，及體用合一之旨。《禮記》道德哲學足可借鑒作為研究新儒學在現代開展之參考，提供繼續深入考察的基點，使得禮之內在精神，能做超越古今的繼承，成為改善現代社會發展的重要課題。 This research aims to make a holistic survey on the moral philosophy of ’Li-Ji’.
