Anonymous users2024-02-06Xunzi's view of sexual evil is the earliest theory of sexuality in the history of Chinese thought. His views mainly appear in his "Sexual Evil Chapter" and "Righteous Name Chapter". However, if you want to fully understand Xunzi's theory of sexual evil, you must also refer to important chapters such as "Unmasking Chapter" and "Royal System Chapter".
The implication of Xunzi's theory of sexual evil.
Xunzi's definition of good and evil is defined by consequences (governance or chaos), rather than by human motives. That is, his theory of sexual evil is consequential, and the results of actual empirical observation determine whether it is sexual evil or sexual good.
Xunzi's theory of sexual evil, "sex" and "evil", sex is a natural sex, you don't need to learn to get it, you can't work hard to get it. Pseudo is something that can be done by being able to learn and commit to it. Pseudo has two meanings: one is the functional aspect, that is, artificial; The second is the personality cultivated by people in terms of results.
He said that sex is the natural nature or natural nature of human beings, which is the essence of human beings, for example, he thinks that human nature is born to care about his own interests, and if he follows this human nature, he will only fight and give up virtue will perish, not the essence of human beings.
His theory of sexual evil is that when people only obey their own natural nature, it will lead to bad results, and "good" is acquired through learning and hard work. It can be seen that Xunzi is an empiricist who looks at the evil of human nature from the consequentialism.
He said that the results of evil should be changed by artificial means. Mencius's theory of goodness is to take the essential meaning, that is, the difference between humans and animals, the inner moral heart of man, that is, the four virtues, and the nature of human beings to be good, and the root of inner value. And Mencius should not object to the nature of man, because this is clearly observed in experience.
The definition of sexual evil is that if people follow their natural nature, they will cause evil consequences; And goodness is acquired through learning and hard work.
The implicit implication is that although nature is not evil, it is the source of evil. From the argument given by Xunzi at the beginning of the chapter on sexual evil, it can be seen that although Xunzi failed to explain the origin of value, this definition is valid, because we can correct the problem of the root of value in his theory, such as the root of value is external to people, such as religion.

Anonymous users2024-02-05In my opinion, the theory of "sexual evil" is wrong. The "evil" manifested by human nature is precisely caused by "social etiquette", and people in primitive tribes are much kinder than people who are ruled by the state.

Anonymous users2024-02-03In one spare time, I read it by accident"Human nature is evil, and its good is also hypocritical"Quite touching.
As far as I am concerned, I advocate Xunzi's theory of sexual evil rather than Mencius's theory of sexual goodness, people are born as villains, and without teachers, they are mercenary, that is, people are born evil, and goodness is obtained through acquired efforts.
Human nature is hunger and desire to eat, cold and warmth, labor and rest, profit and evil. The same goes for friendship.
If, at its root, friends themselves are generated by spatial closeness, that is, they meet at a certain point in time, then they will also fade due to the limitation of distance.
If our encounter is an accidental acquaintance, why bother to stay for a long time, the things of the world, and the things that are forced to come from must not be called perfect. Fragments of memories are also a kind of beauty to me! Kuoda is also a feeling.
The word Kuoda is simple and difficult to do, there are very few people who can do it, there are too many interests and trivial things in the world, try to ask how many people can do it without distractions, I dare not guess, and I am more afraid to know the answer, because I want to work hard to leave a pure land in my heart, a prosperous world that belongs to me.
Advice: Human nature should not be easy**, there are really too many facts that you can't accept, but you can't do anything!

My method when I was in junior high school: In the second year of junior high school, the school sent a book containing more than 100 classical Chinese exercises, and then spent a year doing it (in fact, not all of them were completed, the completion rate was 60%-70%), but each one at least had a translation and a title. It's still worked well for me, at least for three years of high school.
Modern pedagogical theory believes that teaching methods include teachers' teaching methods and students' learning methods, and the two should be organically unified"Teaching is for the sake of not needing to teach"(Ye Shengtao). Teachers' teaching is to serve students' learning, and the fundamental purpose of teachers is to teach students to learn. >>>More
