Abstract/Summary:
From the perspective of harmony between human and nature,Mencius pointed that man had inherent goodness in nature.Through thinking of heart,Mencius said that inherent goodness in nature would become perfection.And the perfection is similar to the people’s development of the human essence theory of Marx to some extent.Basing on the human nature thought of Hegel and Feuerbach,Marx developed his human essence theory.After the foundation of historical materialism,Marx analyzed the recovering of human essence through the law of history evolution,which reflects the historicity,sociality and practicalness of human essence to some extent.There is a big difference between the human essence theory of Marx and the human nature theory of Mencius from the perspectives of metaphysics,value and practice,which embodies the thinking of heart in the human nature theory of Mencius and the critique of practices in the human essence theory of Marx.From different thinking model,we can see that the human nature theory of Mencius and the human essence theory of Marx have different methods and purposes.However,there is something common in the pursuit of human’s problem between the two.From the perspective of combination of Marxism and Chinese traditional cultures,we can see that the two can be used for each other to the full-development of human beings,country governance model of individual-to-country and the forming of good social atmosphere,which is conducive to the rich of human essence theory of Marx,the construction of harmonious society,and the Chinese Marxism,and son on.
