孔子人性论浅探

Brief Analysis of Confucian Theory of Human Nature

孔子虽然没有像孟子和荀子等人一样明确地提出人性论,但是却有许多直接和间接关于人性的论述。孔子的人性论从人情出发,对人性的弱点有着独到的观察,注重人性的经验论考察,充满人性关怀。孔子的人性论对当今社会治理仍有积极的借鉴意义。

Although Confucius had never put forward specifically the theory of human nature as Mencius and Xunzi, he represented directly and indirectly many comments on the human nature in which he made unique observation from the perspective of human sympathy on the weakness of humanity with more emphasis on the investigation of empiricisra. And his theory full of human concern has a positive reference to the present social governance.
