荀子天人关系探微
Exploration of Xunzi’s Relationship between Heaven and Man

先秦哲学家对天人多从“相与”、“合一”的向度认识，如人尽性知天、顺天而行，这是较为常见的先秦天人关系。而荀子的天人关系有其独特之处，他看到了天人关系的另一面，并提出了“明于天人之分”的思想，在此基础上进一步反对人们在自然界面前消极无为，主张“制天命而用之”。荀子天人关系思想中蕴含着丰富的人与自然关系的智慧之思，不仅可以引导人们重新深思人与自然应有的正确关系，而且对于当代社会生态环境的治理具有重要的启示意义。
The pre-Qin philosophers understood heaven and man from the perspective of “mutual” and “unity”, for example, man knew heaven and followed heaven with all his nature, which was a relatively common relationship between heaven and man in pre-Qin. Xunzi’s relationship between heaven and man has its unique features, as he saw the other side of the relationship between heaven and man, and put forward the idea of “understanding the difference between heaven and man”. On this basis, he further opposed people’s passive inaction in the face of nature, and advocated “making heaven’s mandate and using it”. Xunzi’s thought on the relationship between heaven and man contains a wealth of wisdom about the relationship between man and nature, which can not only guide people to rethink the correct relationship between man and nature, but also have important enlightenment significance for the governance of the contemporary social ecological environment.
