论孟子的性善观

On Mencius' Theory of Goodness of Nature

人性问题是战国诸子争论的热点之一,孟子是这场论战的主将,他明确地提出了人性本善的理论,并从性、命、类、故的角度与同时代的学者进行辩论。孟子认为人心有四端,是人性善的萌芽,因此要重视自身修养、摒除恶环境的影响,才能使善"扩而充之"。

The problem of human nature was one of the most heated discussion to the scholars of Warring States period. Mencius was the chief commander of this debate. He put forward human nature clearly and discussed with contemporary scholars on the points of nature,heaten,category,reason. As a result,it is imporant to attend cultivation,exclude the dangerous influence of environment,then make human nature expand.
