中西方伦理学关于人性理论的差异探究

An Inquiry into the Differences between Chinese and Western Ethical Theories about Human Nature

人性理论是古今中外思想家探讨的一个中心问题,是解释人的本质的观点或学说。人性的“善”“恶”问题与人们的生活实践息息相关,因而理所当然地成为伦理学不可回避的核心问题。通过分析对比中西方具有代表性的人性理论差异,能够为构建和谐社会中协调个人利益与社会利益的关系、建设生态和可持续发展等问题提供重要参考价值和意义。The theory of human nature is a central issue explored by ancient and modern Chinese and foreign thinkers, and it is a viewpoint or doctrine that explains the nature of human beings. The question of “good” and “evil” of human nature is closely related to people’s life practice, and thus it has rightly become an unavoidable core issue of ethics. By analyzing and comparing the differences between the representative theories of human nature in China and the West, it can provide important reference value and significance for the construction of a harmonious society, the reconciliation of personal and social interests, and the construction of ecology and sustainable development.
