荀子是战国末期的大思想家,他认为,人性是恶的,但人有理解和实践礼义法度的资质和才具,可以在后天通过自己努力磨砺,并在贤师和良友帮助下,化性起伪,而趋于善,并最终成为圣人。荀子“性恶论”与孟子“性善论”表面看起来大相径庭,但完整考察他们关于人性的思想,则是可相通的,而荀子实际上也有被误解之处。
Xunzi is a big thinker at the end of the Warring States Period. He believes that human nature is evil. However, human beings have the qualifications and talents to understand and practice the Etiquette. They can be sharpened by their own efforts in the day after tomorrow and with the help of sages and good friends False, and tend to be good, and eventually become saints. Xunzi’s theory of “sex and evilness” looks very different from that of Mencius’s “theory of goodness and goodness.” However, a complete examination of their thoughts on human nature is similar, and Xunzi actually has been misunderstood.
