论哲学共性与普世价值

On Philosophy's Generality and Universal Values

共性与个性是一切事物具有的两种根本属性。因为有了个性,事物与事物或个体与个体才会区别开来;因为有了共性,事物与事物或个体与个体才会归成为类。人类是不同的种族、民族或个体的集合。作为人类中的种族、民族或个体,都有其个性,因而互相区别;同时,由于他们都是属于人的分子,因而又有其共性,存在着共同的价值取向或期许,甚至是共同的游戏规则,所以,否定了"普世价值",也就等于否定了人的共性或本质,否定了人类交往与合作的前提。

Generality and individuality are two fundamental attributes owned by all things. It is the individuality that distinguishes a thing or individual from each other and it is the generality that falls things or individuals into various classifications. Human beings are an aggregation of different races, nations or individuals. As one part of human beings, race, nation and individual can be told their differences among others out of their uniqueness. Meanwhile, because they all belong to one element of human beings and have generality, they share the same value orientation or expectation, and even share the same game rules, they negate universal values, which equals to negating human beings＇generality or essence and negating the premise of human beings＇communication and cooperation.
