论《战国策》中“士”的价值取向及其成因

On Value Orientations and the Reasons of "Gentlemen" in The Strategies of the Warring States

《战国策》中的“士”大致可以分为重利轻义的仰禄之士和重义轻利的正身之士两大类。重义还是重利，是先秦百家争鸣的一个重要命题，它不仅关系着对经济活动的引导，而且决定着统治者的战略方向。仰禄之士和正身之士各有不可替代的合理因素，它们的存在有着深刻的经济基础和社会根源。

'Gentlemen' in The Strategies of the Warring States can be classified into two groups: those who try all means to run after official ranks and those who remain loyal to their duties. To seek fame or truth is an important theme in Xian Qin's contending schools of thought, which determines not only the economy but also the strategies of the rulers. The existence of these two groups of people is justified and each has their respective profound economic foundations and social roots.
