摘要
"情"与人性论有密切关系,构成了人性论的基础。人性论最终要告诉我们什么是好社会以及如何去实现它。人性论对美好社会的追求来自于情感,也就是对人类生存境地的关注、对苦难者的同情。从情感中来,诉诸于情感,最终去建立一个有着充沛情感的社会,这就是先秦人性论的感性之纬。孔孟把基于家庭的亲情和同情心作为其人性论的核心内容,并主张把这些感情扩充到整个社会;而老庄则主张内向的爱和同情,在个体人性完整的基础上,实现社会的完美。这些思想家的共同点在于:他们都是从一种内在的、真实的情感出发来构建起其学说。
The concept of emotion is an integral part of pre-imperial Chinese debates on human nature. The ultimate concern of human nature debates is ＂what is Good Society and how to create it＂. Such pursuit originates from a strong emotion,which is the concern and compassion to sufferings of human being. The emotional dimension of pre-imperial Chinese debates on human nature refers to their emotional root, recourse and social idea. To put it concretely, Confucius and Mencius regard the familial filial piety and compassion as the nucleus of their debate and advocate extending them into the social politics. Conversely,Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi formulate an inward love and compassion that can help man to achieve individual integrity of human nature,on which a perfect society builds. Despite difference and divarication, these masters share one thing. That is to say,all of them construct their thought on the base of internal and genuine emotions.
