中文摘要 | 在早期儒家關於人性的討論中,「性」有「生之謂性」與「人之所以為人者」之新舊二義。荀子取其「生之謂性」義而言「性惡」,但在其德行論內部,作為「人之所以為人者」的人之本質(human nature)並不在於其所謂「性惡」之「性」,而在於後天修養而成的「第二人性」(the second human nature)-「德性」(virtue)。於是,荀子德行論道德基礎之建立也就歸結為德性的養成何以可能的問題。德性出於後天的養成,但人必須具有天賦的獲得德性的能力,德性的成就方成為可能。在荀子這裡,成就德性之內在根據落實為「心」。從而,德性之養成就在於「以心治性」、「以道制欲」,亦即尋求感性生命之理性化。最後,在荀子德行論中,德性的內在性與非先驗性之雙重屬性導致了道德修養中「德性的悖論」的出現,而作為對這一悖論的消解,荀子德行論表現出鮮明的實踐性格。 |
英文摘要 | The early Confucian discussion about human nature was concerned with both the born nature and the acquired nature. Regarding the former one, Xun Zi advocated his doctrine about the evilness of human nature, while, within his doctrine of virtue, he was talking about the acquired second nature-virtue. Therefore, the construction of the moral foundation of Xun Zi's doctrine of virtue is essentially about the possibility to cultivate virtue. Virtue is something to be acquired, but the cultivation of virtue is only possible if one is equipped with the natural born capacity to acquire it. For Xun Zi, the internal basis of achieving virtue is embodied as the ”mind.” Accordingly, the cultivation of virtue lies in ”governing nature with mind” and ”controlling desire by tao,” that is, seeking to rationalize the emotional life. Finally, in Xun Zi's doctrine, the internality and non-transcendence of virtue leads to the ”paradox of virtue,” while Xun Zi's doctrine shows its sharply practical character in its resolution of this paradox. |
