论先秦儒家性情学说的逻辑发展及其历史价值

On Logical Development and Historical Value of the Confucius' Theory of Temperament in Pre-Qin Dynasty

在中国古代社会由神本向人本的演进过程中，先泰儒家性情学说大体经历了由孔子到郭店楚简《性自命出》及《中庸》、《孟子》、《荀子》、《大学》等有关理论的逻辑发展过程。其历史价值突出表现在对人文精神的关怀上。

In the transformation of a God-dominanted society to a man-dominated one in ancient China, Confucius' theory of temperament in Pre-Qin Dynasty experienced a logical development from Confucianism toTemperament Is Innate, The Doctrine of the Mean, Mencius, Xuncius, The Great Learning and other related theories. The historical value of the theory lies in its advocation of humanism.
