荀子说“群”及当代启示

Xunzi's Reflection on “Group” and Its Modern Significance

荀子关于"群"的思想是对人类的群体生活以及其时代条件下群体状态的一种社会学的描述,虽然他的学说延续着孔孟关于人生伦理的探讨,但"群"这一概念却将探讨的角度从现实的人际交往关系拓展到了抽象的社会组织层面上,这使得其观点对我们当前的和谐社会建设具有重要的借鉴意义。

Xunzi＇s reflection on ＂group＂ is a kind of sociological description of human＇s social life.Confucius and Mencius both discussed the theory about life ethics. Xunzi continued the topic in his theory,but his concept of ＂group＂expands the thought from the reality of interpersonal relationship to the abstract question about society,which had important significance on contemporary social development.
