本文从对于人的本性的探讨切入,比较了东西方关于这一问题的争论,提出人之为人就在于人同时具有兽性与神性,而非仅仅依靠其中的某一者。进而用人同时具有的神性与兽性分析了马克思的唯物史观能够概观历史的机理所在。最后尝试提出了人类解决兽性与神性即“灵与肉”矛盾的一个方案。 This article explores the nature of human beings and compared the controversy between the East and the West on this issue. It argues that man is human beings who have both animality and divinity instead of relying solely on one of them. Then, by analyzing the divinity and beast nature of human beings, this paper analyzes the mechanism by which Marx’s historical materialism can make an overview of history. Finally, we try to put forward a solution to the contradiction between humanity and divinity, that is, “spirit and flesh”.
