孟荀人论之比较

A Comparison of MENG Zi and XUN Zi's Theories about Human

孟子、荀子的人论都以人为出发点,以社会政治为中心,阐述了地主阶级对人和社会的系统认识。虽然在表面上存在差异,但实质上它们在政治上融汇互补,并行不悖,奠定了整个封建社会道德政治的理论基础。认识孟荀人论,有助于认识民族的历史和现状,促进民族自新自强。

Both MENG Zi and XUN Zi's theories about human are on the basis of human being, centered around social politics and expatiate the squirearchy's systemic understanding of human and society. Though there are some ostensible differences, they are essentially complimentary in politics which laid the theoretical foundation for the moral politics of feudalist society. The understanding of the views about human being is facilitative to the understanding of the nation's history and status quo as well as the promotion of nation building.
