论荀子理性思维的过程——“天官”“天君”各司其职

The Process of Xun zi's Rational Thinking:the Outlook on the Heaven-heavenly Deities

荀子认为,思维过程中人的主体能动性的发挥主要是要以对自然界普遍存在的客体的认识为前提,人对客体的认识可以划分为感性认识与理性认识两个层次,这两个层次是人认识发生和发展的过程,是以感觉经验为开端的。人首先要借助于"天官"产生感知感觉,得到感性认识;然后再依赖于"天君"职能的发挥可以上升到理性认识,得到对事物全面和深入的认识。这一过程总体说来,就是"天官""天君"各司其职,是一个分工与合作的过程。

In Xunzi's opinion,people's main activity is mainly based on object of widespread understanding of the natural world,human awareness of objects can be divided into both perceptual and rational knowledge levels that is the process of awareness and development,which is based on sensory experience.First you obtain perceptual knowledge by Celestial officials,and then you can rise it to the rational knowledge,so we can get comprehensive and in-depth understanding of things.Generally speaking,this process is a division of labor and cooperation process.
