It is a everlasting subject to explore nature of human. The only ultimate aim of human activity is to create better environment and conditions of exist and development of itself. Philosophy, as a universalistic science, is to direct people how to correctly master the regularity of the commonest world change and development, to further change objective world with usage of scientific method and means, and to more adapt to the need of development of human society. We can draw a conclusion: the aim of all scientific practice human being is doing is to solve the problem of"human". Humanism and Scientism are two major trends of philosophic thought in western world recently. As methodology and value view, these two great trends lay great impact on all kinds of social science, pedagogy, psychology, sociology, politics, aesthetics, architecture, et al. The history of human civilization, to view in nature, is the history of development of human being, to bring the host of nature, society, and fate of itself to more and more extend. It is this reason, make humanistic thought play a key role in the course of development of whole human civilization.The"humanistic thought"mention in this paper covers previous mentioned thought of humanities, humanism, humanitarianism. It is a philosophic thought which admits human value and dignity, emphasizes human position and role, attaches importance to personality and human nature, lays human itself as nature, considers human as starting point and core. With the development of history, humanism thought developed constantly, circumfuse the explore of human nature, human position, human value. Its connotation enriched continuously and exhibited in different pattern.China, as an ancient country of long term history and culture, its content of humanistic thought is very abundant, too. Because Chinese feudalism society has a history of thousand years, Chinese humanistic thought is mainly reflected in the relationship of monarch and people, mainly reflected in the thought of people are essence. Confucianism thought, with the representative of Kong and Meng, deems moral consciousness as basic attribute, which takes leading place in the region of ideology as a main thought in official thought. Under the restrict of patriarchal clan system regulation, family deems as core under this thought, which pay attention to the relationship among human to get value orientation of concordance in body and thought, because traditional superabundant thought was inherited. Besides, the humanistic thought of Taoist Metaphysics prone to naturalistic humanistic thought return to original nature.Western humanistic thought underwent different historical stage. With of deeper cognition of human nature of people and the change of point of view of human being, different characteristic occurs in humanistic thought. Greek philosophic thought of humanism pursue human nature from human origin. It diverted people attention from outer nature to human itself, raise proposition of human being the objective center, established the epistemology and value view that human is the main body of the all things. The extensive change of study object implemented in the history of western philosophy. During the age of the renaissance and religion, it advocated liberate people from godly govern, laid the rationale of naturalistic anthroposophy, studied human nature from human ideal. Western humanistic thought underwent great changes compared with previous two cognition style of humanistic thought with the development of recent ontology and anthroposophy till modern time, that is come back to real human object from potential ideally existence. It attempts to realize human nature from the relationship of human existence and cognition, looks for human nature from objective existing relation of human, and which formed valuable, but not rational humanistic thought.Humanistic thought of Marxism is to critical on western humanistic thought. It pursues human nature from activity style and existence style of human itself, which belongs to contemporary stage of philosophy. Human create its life from its activities, and is formed in the course of creating the activities of life. Natural and supernatural nature formed a whole body just in the course of these activities and the results is created. According to the concept of Max, to know what is human, the problem of what determines human existing style and activities style of existence and development must be solved first. Human existence is an existence of meaning. Max deeply analyzed human from social, historical and creative layers, and proposed it is only communism what can realize real humanism and realize the development of wholly freedom of human.The real contradiction what socialistic economic construction meets now: It is the constant increment of social wealth and continuous progress of social civilization that can meet the need of people increasingly, and can realize human envelopment more and more. Many real contradiction revealed with the rapid development of science and technology, the Establishment of leading place of market economy. It will threaten human development if these problems can not be solved well, such as anti-humanism phenomenon under the condition of marketing condition as follows: to be interested only in material gain, imitate and false product occur, environmental pollution, unfair distribution, uneasy deals, the poor contrast to the wealthy et al. and even contradiction between the development of science and human. It has great meaning of theory and reality as follows: construction of socialism and harmonious society, strive for peace of world, create harmonious future, and so on.Conclusion drew after comb historical development and historical thread of humanistic thought of western philosophers. The humanistic thought of Chinese and western philosophers both showed respect on human, desire of freedom, and pursuing human development. But different cognition of human nature determined different value orientation of humanistic thought, determined different thinker with different point of view chose differed way to realize their ideal. Philosophers per sue humanistic thought differently under different times, different social background, but in fact, they all aimed at realizing all round self-development of human freedom. They deviated their aim ultimately because of the limit of history and class. The humanistic thought of Marxism, per suing all round self-development of human freedom, is the highest per sue of human self-development by man being, is the ultimately ideal of human thought. it is only after of humanistic thought brought by Marxism, makes the possibility of realizing human value and dignity. The scientific and developmental view of on"human is the nature", which brought by our party currently, mirrored the essence of Chinese ancient and western civilization, based on humanistic principle of humanism of Marxism, follow the development tide of current world civilization, and brought new ideas on theory. It has great meaning in terms of construction of socialism and harmonious society, strive for peace of world, create harmonious future, and so on.
