司马光人才思想述论——以《资治通鉴》“臣光曰”为中心

Perceiving qualified personnel thoughts of Si Ma-guang from "Subject Guang's speaking" in Zi Zhi Tong Jian

人才思想是司马光政治思想的重要组成部分,在《资治通鉴》的"臣光曰"及其它一系列论著中有着较充分的体现。司马光认为在封建的守成和进取阶段,人才有着十分重要的作用;强调要选用德才兼备之人;要求为人上者要诚心致才,礼贤下士,并且要依靠众人举才;主张用人应不徇私情、用人应不拘门第、用人勿疑;主张从实际工作中去考核人才。但司马光的人才思想也存在着不少的缺陷。
