孟子“性善”思想的现代诠释

Mencius"the nature is friendly"the thought modern annotation

孟子认为人区别于禽兽的只是"人性善",它源于人类共有的同情之心。因为人特有理性精神——反思能力,人人可以发现自己的"本心",人人也可以成为"尧舜"。"人性善"是孟子"仁政"学说的基石。然而把"人性善"作为"平天下"功业的起点,也使其诞生之日起就有了巨大的消极意义。可是,现代人视人性为物质生活,社会生活等等所决定,也使人类为了从精神家园逃离,失去了生存的终极意义。把"人性善"作为终极的价值理性或许可以拯救这一现代病。

Mencius thought that the human distinguishes between the animal is only ＂the human nature is friendly＂, it stems from heart which of the sympathetic the humanity altogether has. Because person unique rational spirit - resonsideration ability, everybody may discover that own ＂the conscience＂, everybody may also become ＂the Yao and Shun＂. ＂the human nature is friendly＂ is Mencius ＂the kind politics＂ the theory cornerstone. However ＂is friendly the achievement the human nature＂ the even world＂ the meritorious achievements beginning, also enabled its date of birth to have the huge negative significance. But, the modern people regard the human nature are the material life, social life and so on decided that also causes the humanity to flee from the spiritual home, has lost the survival ultimate significance. ＂Is friendly perhaps the human nature ＂takes the ultimate value rationality to be possible to save this modern disease.
