荀子与孔子、孟子都属于先秦儒家的代表人物,但荀子的思想却与孔孟学说有很大的差别,具体体现在孔子、孟子认为人性本善,侧重精英道德,推崇唯心主义德治思想。而荀子认为人性本恶,看重大众伦理,推崇唯物主义礼制思想。荀子的思想并没有完全继承孔孟学说,也不是对孔子、孟子思想的全盘摒弃,是在其基础上的延展与提升、继承与批判。
Xunzi, Confucius and Mencius all belonged to the representatives of pre-Qin Confucianism. However, Xunzi’s thought differs greatly from Confucius and Mencius. Confucius and Mencius considered the nature of human beings good, the elitism of elites, and the idealist ideal of morality. Xunzi thinks human nature is evil, valuing public ethics, and advocating the materialist ritual. Xunzi’s thought did not fully inherit Confucianism and Confucianism, nor did it completely abandon Confucius and Mencius’ thought, but also extended and promoted, inherited and criticized on the basis of it.
