论荀子关于人的存在方式的思想

荀子认为人有三种存在方式:自然存在方式、社会存在方式和理想存在方式。他认为人有眼耳鼻口之欲,有趋名逐利、趋利避害的本性,这是人的自然存在方式;在深刻揭示人的自然存在方式的基础上,荀子阐述了自己对人的社会存在方式的理解:人生活在由礼带来的种种规范之中,依礼而行事,人才真正成为区别于自然而具有道德伦理关系的社会存在方式的人;荀子认为,人的理想存在方式应是如此:化性起伪,将本性恶的河水用礼的堤岸约束并通导,行为处事无礼不为,由此兢兢业业修养不已,达到君子、圣人的理想人格,同时也渗透天道,与天合一。

The Ideology about Man's being Fashions of XunZi

XunZi thought the man has three being fashions and they are natural being fashion, social being fashion and ideal being fashion. In the first, Xunzi thought the man has desires for food, fame and wealth and so on.. this is the man's natural being fashion. Secondly, the man is different from the animals because he is restrained by rite. At last, Xunzi thought the man's ideal being fashion should be that the man doesn't stop restraining his nature by rite and improving his self-cultivation constantly until he can grasp the law of nature and blend with it.
