孟子、荀子是继孔子之后儒家学派最重要的代表人物,他们的人学思想虽有不同,但却同出一脉、相互融通。二人的人学主张皆根植人性、尊崇人心、重视礼义、激励善行,充分肯定个体价值,这对于图书馆的管理工作也有一定的指导作用。本文即从二位先哲的人学观点入手,探讨其带给现代公共图书馆人文管理方面的启迪。 Mencius and Xunzi are the most important representatives of the Confucian school after Confucius. Although they have different humanistic thoughts, they have the same vein and are integrated with each other. Both of them advocate that human beings are rooted in human nature, respected people, attach importance to etiquette, encourage good deeds, fully affirmed the value of individuals, which for the management of the library also has a guiding role. This article starts from the anthropology perspective of the two sages and probes into the enlightenment brought by it to the humanistic management of the modern public library.
