The Studying Of Xunzi's Theory Of Human Nature

Master of xunzi is the end of the warring states period Confucianism under the influence of the spring and autumn period and the warring states period,the theory of human nature thought also presents hundreds of characteristics,the paper focuses on and in-depth analysis of xunzi`s human nature.In countries actively carry forward the traditional culture under the background of national culture is increasingly valued,our society today,in the period of intense transformation pattern of interests,profound changes have taken place in social evils,values seriously distorted,in this case to explore mining xunzi's theory of evil human still have theory value,worth rethinking.This paper generalizes the xunzi research results at home and abroad and the key combed the research achievements of human nature thought "park","sex nausea good said","total depravity" three point of debate.In the western zhou dynasty,our ancestors began to pay attention to human nature.These concerns can only be regarded as the germination of human nature.Xun zi,who inherited the Confucian "rites" from the Confucian standpoint,also criticized mencius' undiscriminating theory of sexual goodness.Iron on the spring and autumn period and the warring states period,the economic promotion oxen-led agricultural economy development and the transformation of the economic system and the development of the business,political warfare supremacy and the ritual music,bad social reality in thought contending of pre-qin scholars,this is the background of xun zi theory of human nature.Xunzi adhere to the "Ming from the difference between heaven and man" and "destiny and making use of the" materialist view of nature and xunzi in zhao,qi,chu travel between the three stories and experiences directly led to the xunzi evil human nature.In this paper,xunzi's "sex" includes the inherent physiological instincts,feelings and desires,as well as the content of the heart.The standard of xun zi's assessment of good and evil is: "zhengli pingzhi" is good;The "deviation from danger" is evil.Xun zi argues that human nature is evil in four aspects: the flood of desire;There is no etiquette in human nature;Human nature needs the reform of ritual;No man can be holy.Sexual evil is not thepurpose of xunzi,and the ultimate goal is to guide people towards good.In the process of transformation from evil to good,xun zi to introduce the concept of "false",then gives the "human nature from" transformation of the path,so "fake and etiquette",and thus lead to the ideals of xunzi "tu zhi ren ke yi wei yu".Mencius,who regards the gift of benevolence as human nature,requires that man should keep his own good,and he must "turn to himself",which is to examine himself and save his talent.It puts forward the cultivation method of seeking reassurance and expansion.Xunzi to understand human nature,human nature is human physiological instincts and desires,emphasize the acquired condition restriction and transformation of the evil nature of function,requires the abstinence of human nature,rely on saint of etiquette testimonies to educate the world that lead people to be good.Although the two sides have different understandings of human nature,their goals are consistent,which is to overcome the influence of evil on human beings and ultimately make people good.At the same time,although the theory is tit-for-tat,it is complementary in terms of content and thinking.Both mencius and xun zi,they discuss the purpose of the human nature,is to improve people's moral level,through the cultivation of ideal personality and moral character,to achieve the purpose of governing,this is the consistent tradition of Confucianism.Xunzi theory of human nature on the Confucian concept of human nature has produced profound influence can not be ignored,whether dong and others said,or with the doctrine of cheng and zhu xi,one humanity dualism cannot completely deny there is evil in human nature,the good is no longer the only elements of human nature.Xun zi in the demonstration of the process,the evil humanity will physiological instincts of human beings and the psychological demand in nature as "evil",will be life and existing and fresh appetite theory and biological instinct this is a description of the fact that with this kind of value judgment between good and evil,it is made of the naturalistic fallacy.Xunzi's theory of human nature in the evaluation standards of good and evil,or on the thinking methods of human nature from the obvious class mark,is standing on the position of the landlord class for the muzzle of the people,at the same time due to limit of The Times the study of human nature is rooted in the reality of cognitive experience,impossible to realizethe essence of man is the sum of all social relations.However,xun zi's theory of human nature in the criticism of the mencius or on the grasp of human nature and the cultivation methods are adhere to the materialist approach,starting from the objective reality human study has certain advantages.Although xun zi did not clearly express the role of human initiative in the treatise on human nature,we can find xunzi's emphasis on human activity in his discourse.Xunzi's emphasis on people and efforts,and the attitude of giving full play to human initiative,have certain progressive significance.Draw lessons from xun zi in the desire of learning by doing and cultivation methods,exert etiquette testimonies the limitation on the man's lust and adjustment,realize people's desire to overcome the inner conflict of people and realize human natural biological properties and the unity of the social moral attribute.At the same time,in the process of personal moral personality development,the accumulation of good and virtue,the cultivation of habits and habits.Xun zi's theory of sexual evil reveals that in the process of social governance,we should improve the norms of the social etiquette system and guard against the social chaos caused by the evil of human nature.At the same time,we should set up correct values,play the guiding role of correct values,and attach importance to the influence of education and environment on people.
