人的高贵性之所在——人类精神的时代反思

The Nobility of Human Beings: Reflection on the Human Spirit

人的高贵性是人之为人的最重要规定性,人有高贵性才真正不同于动物。人的高贵性在于精神性而不在于肉体性,道德性是精神性的实质内涵,而道德追求的是人格完善。精神性是主体性的实质和核心,因此高贵性是主体性的充分体现,两者实质上是相通的,增强人的主体性也就在提升人的高贵性。在传统社会,虽然社会倡导人们成为高贵之人,人们也追求高贵,但那时真正的高贵之人仍然很少。现代社会几乎没有多少人追求成为人格完善的高贵者,有的只是固置于生存需要满足的平常人,其结果是人类社会在走向世俗化、功利化的同时走向平庸化的物化社会。要改变这种现状,必须调整人类进化的方向,重视构建个人的精神家园和社会的精神世界,重视提升人类的精神境界,重视对人格完善的追求。

The nobility of human beings is the most important regulation of human nature,and it is only with nobility that humans truly differ from animals.The nobility of human beings lies in their spirituality rather than their physical nature.Morality is the essence of spirituality,while morality pursues the perfection of personality.Spirituality is the essence and core of subjectivity,therefore nobility is the full embodiment of subjectivity.The two are essentially interconnected,and enhancing human subjectivity also enhances human nobility.In traditional society,although society advocated for people to become noble individuals and pursued nobility,there were still very few truly noble individuals at that time.In modern society,few people pursue to become noble people with perfect personality,and most are just ordinary people who are fixed on meeting the needs of survival.The result is that human society moves towards mediocre materialization society while moving towards secularization and utilitarianism.To change this situation,it is necessary to adjust the direction of human evolution,attach importance to building an individual's spiritual home and the spiritual world of society,attach importance to enhancing the spiritual realm of humanity,and attach importance to the pursuit of personality improvement.
