摘要： 近代以来，在儒学与自由的关系问题上，形成了两种常见的对立观点，一种是视儒学为自由的敌人，一种是以自由为儒学的价值。从检讨这两种观点入手，通过引入"情感责任"的视角，重新分析儒学仁爱的思想内涵，可以发现儒学的仁爱与自由主义的权利，是各自独立、互不代替的价值。无论今日还是未来，继续阐述仁爱精神，对儒学和社会，都是值得追求的思想事业。

Abstract: Since the modern times, there have been two opposite doctrines of relationship between Confucianism and liberty some claim that Confucianism is hositle to liberty while others believe that Confucianism admits the value of liberty. By examining (these) two doctrines of the relationship between Confucianism and liberty and re-interpreting Confucian humanity (ren) from the perspective of "emotion-responsibility", this paper reveals that Confucian humanity and liberal rights are independent values and they cannot be replaced by each other. Both for Confucianism and our society, it is a desirable intellectual career to further elaborate on the spirit of humanity not only at present but also in the future.

Key words: Confucianism, liberty, humanity(ren)
