有鑑於性別議題在近來備受各界關注，本文將整理當前儒家思想的性別論述，看出相關的焦點。目前的研究主要著重於儒家思想有無性別歧視，若儒家確有性別歧視的思想，則如何使性別歧視達到某種程度的和諧或平衡，才能使儒家思想在當代仍具有對所有人的開放性，而不因性別導致其影響的範圍縮小。本文即在前人研究的基礎上，分析各種研究的優劣得失，進而提出儒家思想應有的關懷，如何將所有人納入關懷的對象，而不以性別為區分，藉此顯示儒家思想在當代的特殊意義與價值。

In view of the gender issue which has received the widespread attention recently, this paper will organize the existing gender discourses of Confucianism to find the related focal points. The present research mainly focuses on whether gender discrimination exists in Confucianism. If the thinking of gender discrimination does exist in Confucianism, it is an issue how to make gender discrimination achieve the harmony and balance of certain degree so as to retain the openness of the Confucian thinking to all people in the contemporary society without shrinking its influence as a result of gender. On the basis of the former research, this study analyzes the pros and cons of different studies and further proposes the concern that Confucianism should be equipped with, namely, how to include everyone among the objects to show concern for without making a distinction on gender. This is to indicate the special meaning and value of Confucianism in the contemporary society.
