以人为本是和谐社会的本质和核心

Human-centered Concept is the Essence of the Socialist Harmonious Society Theory

先秦原始儒学极具价值的思想,是将社会和谐建立在“以人为本”的基础上。但孔子的和谐社会理想在中国古代社会是难以实现的。柏拉图的和谐社会排斥个人选择等级的自由,压制个性的发展。奥古斯丁以上帝的至上性、普遍性消解了个性、人性。空想社会主义试图给予人们以人文关怀,但脱离了现实的物质基础,人性无法得到充分发展。马克思恩格斯给我们指出以人自身和谐发展为基础的一种最理想的和谐社会,充满着人性的关怀。人的自由全面发展是和谐社会论的核心问题。以人为本是科学发展观的本质和核心,是非常人性化的发展观,是在和谐中求发展。社会主义和谐社会六个特征,与科学发展观一样,共同体现了以人为本的理念。以人为本也是社会主义和谐社会思想的本质和核心。

The most valuable concept of Confucianism in the Pre-Qin Dynasty is to construct a humancentered harmonious society. However, this is an unachievable goal in ancient China. Plato＇s harmonious society excludes its individual＇s free choice of his own class and suppresses the development of personality. Augustine replaces personality and humanity with the paramountcy and universality of God. Utopian socialism is intented to provide people with humane care. Losing contact with the material basis, however, it can＇t give a full play to the humanity. The ideal harmonious society based on the development of the individual self, which is conceived by Marx and Engels, is full of human care and with the free and integrated development of human as its core. Being the essence of the Scientific Development Theory, the human-centered concept is extremely humane. This concept is striving for development on the basis of harmony. The six features of the socialist harmonious society along with the Scientific Development Theory embodies the human-centered concept. Therefore, the human-centered concept is also the essence of the Socialist Harmonious Society Theory.
