孔孟荀人性论之内在意蕴

孔子人性论蕴含的是孟、荀人性论之争的思想渊源。孟、荀人性论的分歧主要在于他们对人性概念内涵的界定不同。作为儒家思想的忠实代表,其人性论追求的最高目标是一样的,即善。性善论与性恶论的对立仅仅是表面现象,而不是本质,实际上二者相辅相成,以一种理性的张力,共同构成儒家人性观的理论双翼。

The Internal Implication of Theory of Human Nature of Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi

Both Mencius' theory of original good of human nature and Xunzi's theory of original evil of human nature take Confucius' theory of human nature as source of their thought.Their differences mainly lie in that their conceptual connotation of human nature are different.As faithful representatives of Confucianism,they are same in pursuing the highest goal of their theory of human nature,namely good.The opposition of Mencius's theory of original good of human nature and Xunzi's theory of original evil of human nature merely is the superficial phenomenon,but is not the essence.In fact,by one kind of rational tensility,they make up of dual wings of Confucianist theory of human nature together.
