古代中西方人性善恶论比较

A Comparitive Study Humanities of the Ancient Chinese and Westerners

人性是人的自然属性,自然属性无所谓善恶;善恶是人的社会属性,社会属性呈现出优劣。正是有了社会,人性才有善恶之分。人性善恶论是伦理学最基本问题之一,是中西方文化差异的根源之一。要正视人性弱点,善待人性,给予人性正常自然的发展空间,使人类社会自然和谐地发展。

Humanity is one of natural properties of human beings, which cannot be described as being good or bad.The good and the bad belong to social properties of human beings. It is because this social property is comparable, that we can discern human goodness and badness. The discussion about human goodness and badness is one of the essential issues of ethnics and the different perspective of this topic is one of the kernel differences between the cultures of the Chinese and the west. We should bravely face the drawback of humanity, treat it equally and afford humanity enough space for development, so that human society can evolve in harmony.
