摘要
在荀子看来,作为社会多数的民既无德也无知,不具备从政的能力。因此,荀子在构建其君民关系论时,一方面从论证君主制政治合理性的角度提出了立君为民观点,这是典型的民本思想;另一方面从君主施政的角度把民众排除在外,确立了君主的政治主宰地位,这是明显的君本思想。民本和君本在荀子思想中并行不悖。这或可解答学界在荀子君民关系思想研究上的争论。
In Xun Zi' s(荀子) opinion, as the majority of the society, the people have no knowledge or merits, therefore they can' t be engaged in politics. Xun Zi argues that the monarch should work for the people from perspective of demonstrating the rationality of monarchy on the one hand, which is a typical thought of Min Ben (民本, regarding the people as national basis) ; he also argues for the political dominance of monarch while excluding the people from politics from perspective of monarch' s administration on the other hand, which is the typical thought of Jun Ben (君本, ng the monarch as national basis). For Xun Zi, Min Ben and Jun Ben can be implemented without coming into conflict, which may provides an interpretation of the debate on the research of Xun Zi' s theory of monarch - people relationship.
