Heaven And Man Have Points, From The Pseudo

From ancient times to present, two basic theory of Chinese philosophy, namely the theory of human nature and theory of heaven-man relationship have been studied all the time. Sima Qian, a famous Chinese philosopher, use “The combination of heaven with man, poor and the debate” to express the importance of study heaven-man relationship, and there is differences between “distinguish mankind from heaven” and “theory that man is an integral part of nature”. Theory of original goodness of human nature are hold by Mencius, oppositely, Xun Zi’s representative theory is about “total depravity”. Ancient philosopher presented bunch of book and thesis about these two aspects for nowadays academician. But what a pity, there is nearly no study from the aspect of axiology to deeply explore Xun Zi’s philosophic thought.Xun Zi, from the late time of the Warring States, a great philosopher, this thesis will use his two books,namely 《Theory of Heaven》and 《Evil Nature》as main study object, and also subsidiary, use his famous book 《Encouraging Learning》、《concept of rite》、《demasking》etc., as the thought thread. Use the trendy subject –axiology as research method, we try to cut in from axiology, to rearrange the commonly known as value word, or called meaning word, from this study, we hope to open a new road for Xun Zi’s philosophy, and the “road” is axiology.Firstly, the important thought which Xun Zi put forward, that “distinguish mankind from heaven, all humanistic things goes orderly” is actually the delimitation of facts and value, the distinguish of the natural world and the human world. Thus found the beginning of the value construction, namely the Logical starting point and historical starting point. Then start a people-oriented, rich cultural world, that we so called “Meaning word, value word”. The distinguish mankind from heaven is not the fight between them, on contrary; Xun Zi’s core idea is to conform and use the heaven. This led us to a road of govern the world by conform the heaven and use the heaven to benefit people. The theory of human-man relationship is actually the harmony, symbiosis, combination between them. It’s a ground narrative under the peculiar background of Chinese philosophy; secondly, on basis of the human-man relationship theory, Xun Zi also sees the dark side, that is the elimination of evil in human nature. This is also a main stream of Xun Zi’s philosophy thought. The elimination of evil in human nature is to prevent and reform the evil part; Last, On the basis of theory mentioned above, Xun Zi systemic propose the moral subject’s generation way, the human word’s creation way, the governance way. So, Xun Zi’s theory of distinguish between sex and pseudo is actually a unique way of “solely internal saints and external kings principles”. Today, we need stand on a high mountain of axiology, under peculiar Chinese culture background to better understand Xun Zi’s theory mentioned above, hope it can lead us to a better yourself and word.
