评庄子荀子之天人观

The Comment of Zhuangzi and Xunzi's Ideas of Nature and Human

天人观是一个系统的哲学命题,庄子和荀子在这方面有非常丰富但又驳杂的思想。而且,两人的这些思想还存在许多根本对立的地方,例如庄子提倡天道,荀子则反之;庄子要求无为,荀子则呼吁有为;庄子追求天人合一,荀子则要明天人之分。基于此,本文试图从宇宙、人生及两者关系三个方面来对庄子荀子之天人观进行疏理,并力求客观、准确地评价其得失。

The perspective of Nature and Human is a systemic proposition of philosophy. Zhuangzi and Xunzi had so much complicated ideas in this aspect. Moreover, there is conflict between their ideas, for example Zhuangzi believed the Spirit of Nature, but Xunzi against him; Zhuangzi insisted the rationality of inaction, but Xunzi against him; Zhuangzi pursued the accordance of Nature and Human, but Xunzi emphasized the distinction of Nature and Human. Therefore, the author made an effort to discuss their ideas of Nature, of Life, of the relationship between Nature and Human respec- tively. This article also criticized their opinions objectively.
