刘鉴泉先生的“性说”研究

On Mr.LIU Jianquan's Thought of Human Nature

刘鉴泉先生的“性说”,立足于孟子的性善论,融汇儒道天人一贯、尽人以合天的思想,批判了告子人兽不分的错误,进而批判了西方文化“适者生存”、把人视为动物的社会进化论;批判了自七十子裔以来历代“性说”论者在视“善”为性的同时,亦视“恶”为性的肤浅与荒谬,进而高扬了作者“任天”、“圆道”的学术理想与人生理想。由于其学说诞生于后五四时期,因此具有相当强烈的针对性和深远的现实意义。

The thought of the human nature of Mr. Liu Jianquan based upon the original goodness of human nature of Mencius, harmonized the thought co-operation between Tian and man of Confucianism and Taoism, through criticizing the mistake of gaozi about mixing up man and animal, criticized the social evolutionism, through criticizing the mistake of evil is one of the nature of human, and raised the ideals of the academy and the life. The thought has good strength and special meaning in the May 4^th Movement.
