沈从文与庄子“自然人性”思想辨析

Discrimination of Shen Congwen and Chuang Tzu on Natural Humanity

沈从文和庄子都主张“自然人性” ,然而二者之间有着原则性的不同 :庄子的“自然人性”追求的是个体生命的自由 ,是一种丧失了主体性的消极存在 ,是一种缺少感性色彩的无情存在 ,是一种超阶级意识的抽象存在 ,是企图毁弃文明 ;沈从文的“自然人性”追求的是群体生活的道德 ,是一种保持主体性的积极存在 ,是一种富有感性色彩的有情存在 ,是一种有阶级意识的具体存在 。

Both Shen Congwen and Zhuang Zi(Chuang Tzu)advocated natural humanity,but there was fundamental difference between their ideas.Zhuang Zi pursued the freedom of the individual,which was a passive abstract existence without emotion,subjectivity,or class\|consciousness,and which was against human civilization;while Shen Congwen pursued the ethic of the community,which was an active concrete existence with emotion,subjectivity and class\|consciousness,and which was for building new human civilization.
