论中西方人性观的差异

About The Difference between the Standpoints of China and Western Countries on Humanity

本文认为把中西方人性观的差异归结为性善与性恶之差异 ,易使人们对中西方的人性观及其差异产生简单化、表面化、抽象化、片面化的理解。本文认为中西方的人性观的差异 ,与其说为性善与性恶之差异 ,不如说为一元和谐论与两元对立论、乐观主义与悲观主义、理想主义与现实主义、等级主义与平等主义、泛道德主义与自然主义、义务本位与权利本位之差异。

The writer thinks that if the difference between the standpoints of China and Western countries on humanity is regarded as the difference between good humanity and evil humanity, people may understand it in a simplified, superficial, abstract and one-sided way. The writer considers that such difference is actually the difference between monism and dualism, optimism and pessimism, idealism and realism, hierarchism and equality, pan-moralism and naturalism, and obligations and rights.
