张载人性论的内在关系

Connections in Zhang Zai's Theory of Human Nature

张载的人性论是由“天地之性”和“气质之性”两部分组成的。天地之性是纯善无恶的,它的善性具有两个基本的特征,一个是“仁”,一个是“诚”。纯善无恶的天地之性主要是说明人类有共同的潜在的善的本性。气质之性是善恶混,它主要是说明个体人的品质不齐的原因和根据。它们之间是一种本然、实然和应然相统一的动态关系。

Zhang Zai＇s theory of human nature comprises both born nature and temperament. Bom nature was absolutely good, featured with two basic characteristics of humanity and honesty. Born nature mainly denoted that the mankind had common nature of kindness. Temperament was the mixture of good and evil, which to great extent explained why individual＇s quality was not the same. There was a dynamic relation between born nature and temperament that they are ＂originally＂, ＂really＂, and ＂ought to be＂ unified.
