人的具体本质是怎样形成的?

How is the People's Essence Shaped

马克思指出,人的本质是其一切社会关系的总和。如何正确理解马克思的这一论断?这个论断实际上包含两个方面的涵义:其一,人的本质从根本上说是由外界社会环境决定的;其二,人的本质在一定范围内、一定程度上也是由人自觉选择的。这两个方面的作用相结合,造成人的具体本质。

Marx indicated that the people's essence was the summation of all society relations. This judgment includes two meanings; the first, the people's essence is decided by the outside society condition; the second, the people's essence is decided by the choice of self-knowledge.
