创造性的社会发生:兼论“仁且智”何以可能

Social Occurrence of Creativity:How Can “Benevolence and Wisdom” Be Achieved ?

创造性本为人之天性,即人人皆有为社会提供创造性产品的可能性。如果某种创造性的产品能为社会所认可和共享,并产生社会生产力,这就是创造性的社会发生。本文从心理、社会和历史的综合视野分析了创造性与道德存在正向关联的深层蕴含,提出了一个有关创造性的社会发生机制理论,认为创造性和道德是自由的必然结果,并论证儒家心中的理想人格——"仁且智",只有在自由的前提下才有可能达成最大程度的社会现实。

Creativity is human nature, that is, everyone has the possibility of providing creative products for his community. If a creative product can be accepted and shared by the whole society, and produce social productivity, then it can be called social occurrence of creativity. From the comprehensive view of psychology, society and history and by analyzing the deep implication of the positive association between creativity and morality, I put forward a theory of the mechanism for social occurrence of creativity in this paper. The core views of the theory include the following points： creativity and morality are the inevitable result of liberty; only with liberty is it possible for the ideal personality advocated by Confucianism （ i.e. possessing ＂both benevolence and wisdom＂ ） to achieve a universal social reality.
