當代新儒家與勞思光雖有共同的「人文關懷」，但二者對儒學的觀點卻有極大的差異。勞思光並不認同新儒家的「道德形上學」的構想，認為傳統的「天道論」、「本性論」以至當代的「道德形上學」，都會偏離傳統「心性工夫論」的正路，使儒學所強調的「主體性」無由確立。本文的目的，旨在分辨勞思光與新儒家所展示的兩條不同的路向，及揭示宇宙化的道德觀念的困境。

　　　　　Although Contemporary Neo-Confucianists and Lao Sze-Kwang share the same kind of “humanistic concern”, they have different views on Confucianism. Lao Sze- Kwang does not agree with the Neo-Confucianists' idea of “moral metaphysics”. He thinks that the traditional “theory of Tieh-Tao”, “theory of Original Essence”, and the modern “moral metaphysics” are not on the right track, and the Confucian “subjectivity” cannot be established in them. This paper aims at distinguishing two different ways of developing Confucianism between Lao Sze-Kwang and Neo-Confucianists, and disclosing the predicament of the globalization of moral ideas.
