试论李翱的人性论

On Li Ao's Theory of Human Nature and its Historical Status

李翱在孟子思想的基础上加强了子思的“诚”的本体论地位，从而“性”“诚”并举，完整统一了儒家天人关系和人与人类关系两个重心。在此基础上，李翱的人性论在一个更高的层次上统一了善恶、性情、自然属性和社会道德属性的关系。但是，李翱的人性论中包含着善性产生邪情的矛盾，正是对这一矛盾的解答引发了宋明性的二元论的诞生。

On the basis of Mencian thought, Li Ao strengthened the ontological position of Zi Si's Sincerity and thereby unified the two focuses of Confucian thought - the relationships between the Heaven and human beings and between human beings. On this basis, Li Ao unified the relations between good and evil, nature and felling, and natural and social properties. However, his theory of good nature producing evil feeling is contradictory and it was for the solution to this problem that gave birth to the dualism of human nature of the Song and Ming Dynasties.
