摘要：

“性恶心善说”是近年来针对荀子人性理论提出的一种新的诠释。这种诠释于“性恶”和“心善”两端似都有可商榷之处。以物质欲望本身的特点为恶，还是以物质欲望无限度发展的结果为恶，这是关于“性恶”需要讨论的问题。缺乏仁性的有力支撑，单靠智性的认知之心唱独角戏，能否保障心必然为善，这是关于“心善”需要讨论的问题。而是否有必要将《不苟》确定为荀子晚期作品，立荀子晚年定论说，以证明荀子晚年有向思孟回归的迹象，在一定程度上实现了孟荀会通的问题，同样有待进一步讨论。

Abstract:

The theory of “Bad Nature and Good Mind” is a new interpretation of Xunzi’s theory of human nature that has emerged in recent years. However, there are debatable aspects to both the notion of “bad nature” and “good mind”. The question arises as to whether the evil lies in the inherent characteristics of material desires themselves or in the unrestrained development of these desires. This pertains to the discussion on “bad nature”. Moreover, without the strong support of humaneness, can the mind be guaranteed to be inherently good by relying solely on intellectual cognition? This is a matter that needs to be addressed in the discussion on the “good mind”. Furthermore, it is worth considering whether it is necessary to designate the work Bu Gou as a later work of Xunzi in order to support the argument that Xunzi’s later years witnessed a return to the teachings of Zisi and Mencius, thereby achieving a certain level of integration between the two schools. This issue also requires further exploration.
