摘　　要：Confucianism,not only is the core of Chinese cultural educational thoughts but its influence has been identified in the West by the European scholars.And with the impact of Confucianism civilization,the theological authority in the Dark Ages wavered.The human-based ideas of Confucianism that people are the foundation of the country,the governing way of“Governance with virtue”,the way of personnel placement that men of great virtue and talent are elected who will cultivate mutual trust and promote universal understanding,the nationwide education thought that there should be education for everyone without distinction and the imperial examination system under the idea that those who excellently learned should serve(in the government),have exerted beneficial influences on the European modern civilization.Looking back at the course of Confucian influence in the West and the influence on the Enlightenment and modern civilization,it is easy to find that Confucianism education is of universal value in the pluralistic cultural world,which can enhance the cultural identification and cultural consciousness of a nation,creating a heritage of excellent cultural education and enriching the connotation of the contemporary cultural education.以儒学为核心的中国文化教育思想随着儒家学说的西传得到欧洲有识之士的价值认同,欧洲中世纪神学权威在儒学文明的冲击下发生了动摇。儒家“民为邦本”的民本思想、“为政以德”的治国之道、“选贤与能”的用人之方以及“有教无类”的全民教育观等,对欧洲近代文明产生了积极影响。回顾孔子儒学在西方传播的历程和对欧洲启蒙运动及近代文明的影响,可以看到儒家文化教育在多元文化世界中的普世价值,可以增强国人的文化认同与文化自觉,有助于加强优秀文化教育精神传承,丰富当代文化教育内涵。
