人性能力与普遍规范

Human Capacity and Universal Norm

以意义世界的生成为指向,成己与成物的过程既基于内在的人性能力,又本于外在的普遍规范。作为成己与成物所以可能的条件,人性能力与普遍规范本身存在内在的关联。规范系统离开了人性能力,往往容易导向抽象化、形式化,并失去现实的生命力;人性能力无规范系统的范导,则每每难以避免任意性、偶然性,并可能由此失去自觉的品格。正是在人性能力与规范系统的互动中,成己与成物的过程达到了创造性、个体性、现实性与程序性、普遍性、自觉性的统一,这种统一,同时为意义世界的生成提供了具体的担保。

Under the guidance of the world of meaning, the course of subjectivity and non-subjectivity depends not only upon internal human capacity but also upon external universal norm. Human capacity and universal norm are internally related as probable conditions of subjectivity and non-subjectivity. Without human capacity, the system of norm is likely to become abstract and formal, losing its vigor of current life, whereas human capacity often fails to avoid arbitrariness and accidentalness, likely to lose its quality of self-consciousness. It is just the interac- tion between human capacity and universal norm that integrates the creativity, individuality and reality with sequentiality, universality and self-consciousness in the course of subjectivity and non-subjectivity. This integrity in turn provides a concrete assurance for generation of the world of meaning.
