摘要
荀子关于人性的含义隐含有善与恶的两重发展倾向,并将之贯彻到其整个人性论中,但出于隆礼重法的需要,荀子过于强调性恶,从而造成了两重性与性恶论的矛盾;与孟子相比较,两人的人性论都具有两重性,但荀子以情论性,孟子以心论性,强调的重点有所不同,并因此导致二人朝着相似的目标走出了不同的途径。
There were two kinds of developmental inclination of good and evil in Xunzi＇s discussions about human nature, which was distributed over all his theory of human nature. But because of the need of advocating Li and law, he overemphasized the evil side of human nature, which results in the contradiction of dualism and the theory of evil nature. In comparison with Mengzi, they both held a dual idea about human nature. Xunzi thought of a nature represented by emotion; Mengzi, however, thought of a nature represented by heart. They had different points, which made them take the different paths toward the similar goal.
