图书馆的功能与“社会人”的人性塑造

在社会经济生活中,人是具有社会目标的“社会人”,而非单纯的经济人,至少两者是互相补充的。中国古代教育思想中,也给我们留下了宝贵的精神遗产。现代图书馆的运行中具有教育人、塑造人的功能,这种功能与现代社会中的“社会人”是紧密相联的。图书馆通过保存文化遗产,传播科学知识,开发智力资源,不断塑造现代”社会人”的人性特征。

People are “ social man ” instead of “ economic man” only when they live in a society.This kind of spirital heritage is preserved in the educational thoughts in ancient times of China.The functions of educating and constructing are embodies in the operation of library and they are related with “ social man ” closely.Modem library constructs the human nature of “ social man” through preserving cultural heritage,popularizing scientific knowledge and developing intellectural resources.
