人性习得与创建人性学的必要性

On human nature cultivation and the establishment of human nature science

孔子"性相近,习相远"的命题以及历史上哲学家们对人性问题的探讨都表达了人性由后天习得的思想。这一哲学思想和现实中存在的伦理缺失现象给我们提出了一个至今尚未引起足够重视的任务,即建立关于人本身——人性的科学,创立一门科学的人性学,以指导人们自觉地按照合乎人性的方向塑造自己,使人人都尽可能地成为完善的人。

The idea that human nature can be cultivated is found in Confucius＇ proposition that ＂By nature men are nearly alike, but by practice they get to be far apart＂ and in previous researches on human nature by philosophers. The philosophic idea and the moral deficiency offers an enlightenment that it is urgent to establish the science on human nature in order that people are led consciously to the direetion of good human nature to perfect themselves.
