人性的追问

Inquiries of Human Nature

追问人的本性既有提高社会实践水平的功用,又具有人类对其自身存在意义追问的形而上学性质。中国传统文化对人性的界定一直囿于"善""恶"的争论中。西方也不乏对"人之本质"进行探究的哲学家。今人对人性的探究,离不开汲取人类文化历史长河中的养料,离不开撷取人类思想史上的瑰宝,同时也需要根据人类及其文化发展至今的实际,进行逻辑之推论和思维之抽象,实现理论创新。而对人性作"追求幸福"的界定,既能解释群体,又能解释个人;既能解释人的物质追求,又能解释人的精神追求;既能解释人的心理活动,又能解释人的行为性质;既能解释人类社会的整体演进,又能解释社会生活的具体展开与发展;既用语简洁、表述直白,又内涵深刻、表义普遍。

An inquiry of human nature will not only help to improve the functional property of social practice, but also has the metaphysical nature of human beings＂ pursuance of their existential significance. Traditional Chinese culture confines human nature to goodness and evils. There were also Western philosophers who explored the nature of human beings. Today people who engage in the explorations of human nature should learn from the history of cultures and thoughts of the world. It also needs logical reasoning and abstract thinking to make theoretical innovations in line with the development of human cultures. This paper makes a comprehensive analysis of human beings＇good deeds and bad deeds,practices and necessities, emotions and reasoning, etc. from a dynamic angle of the state of human existence.
