Chapter 31: The Animal Face and the Human Face of Man
Under the influence of Confucianism, the happiness of the people is generally low, the reason is very simple, that is, because Confucian culture is an atheistic religious culture, Confucian culture only recognizes absolute material conditions, and ignores the soul and spirit, blindly preaches the knowledge of things, and pushes materialization to the extreme, so you will see that Koreans are also very materialistic, and put material conditions above all codes of conduct and all social development. People who only pursue material conditions www.biquge.info only pursue material conditions, will only become slaves in the material world, pursue profit maximization, and the heart of profit occupies the entire psychological world, where is there still a place of romantic sentiments, people without soul and spiritual world, just a robot with intelligence, a person who lacks spiritual pursuit, where will there be happiness?
Ideals and reality are often joked, and it stands to reason that people with rational thinking should have more social pursuits, and their hearts should be full of psychological aspirations for "integration" and "integration" It is the theoretical source of rational thinkers, but also psychological expectations, there is a desire to be very enthusiastic in social activities, should actively participate in public undertakings, keen on public welfare, in fact, on the contrary, the reality is that most of the psychological activities of people with rational thinking are more withdrawn, and selfishness is heavier, which can be seen from many Chinese commercial ports in the world, Chinese are the most difficult to integrate into the local culture of an alien nation, many Chinese live in their own small circle. On the contrary, people who receive objective and idealistic education prefer to participate in social welfare affairs, ranging from community service to battlefield logistics, and spare no effort to serve the country, and the integration is stronger.
From this, we can see the difference between rational thinking and human thinking.
This is why I have repeatedly discussed the purpose of rational thinking and human thinking.
On the contrary, people who hold rational thinking are more selfish, and the primitive animal side is very thick, which is beyond people's imagination, so what is the reason? In the final analysis, it is also because the people who hold rational thinking lack soul and spiritual sustenance, do not get rid of human animal nature, do not elevate human animal nature to the interface of human nature, lack the world of love in philosophy, lack of divine consciousness, do not agree with the existence of "consciousness", and only agree with "absolute matter", if a person is too "material" , it will return to the original animal face of man, and cannot achieve the human nature that human beings should have.
After people are separated from animal nature, self-consciousness and selfish consciousness will gradually evolve, but free consciousness will gradually detach itself from self-consciousness and selfish consciousness because of its strong materiality, and return to social consciousness and national consciousness.
Freedom, selfishness, and selfishness are not the same thing.
Freedom is a behavioral response and belongs to the sphere of action, while selfishness and selfishness are both psychological reactions. However, freedom and selfishness are their own motives in behavior, freedom is their own way, and selfishness is manifested in the isolated desire for material things, with the purpose of possession alone, both of which belong to materiality and have a high primitive animal nature. The "self" is the independence of the personality, which is completely attributed to the psychological level, to the scope of human nature, and to the soul and spiritual sustenance.
Since rational thinking people are full of "absolutely material" thoughts, their inevitable behavior is focused on material pursuits, that is to say, all rational thinking people are materialistic, selfish, and more animalistic. However, with rational thinking, he attaches great importance to peaceful coexistence, pays attention to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, advocates forbearance, agrees with the weak water of 3,000 and only takes one scoop, believes in the prosperity of the sky, and perishes against the sky, believes in going with the flow, and respects the primitive values of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
On the contrary, people who hold the thinking of human nature pay more attention to things at the psychological level, are more objective in behavior, more humane in psychology, more spiritually fulfilling, more full of spiritual civilization, and more vigorous in momentum, pursue the roar of the dragon and the tiger, pay attention to the combination of strong and strong, identify with the survival of the fittest, believe in the transformation of nature, respect the rule of law and other human values.
Human thinking is loving thinking and seeing the world with three eyes, while rational thinking is material thinking and intuitive the world with only two eyes. This is also the reason why people with human thinking have objective idealistic thinking, and it is also the reason why human thinking is a step higher than rational thinking, and it is certainly easier to solve problems by looking at the world with three eyes than seeing the world with two eyes.
Philosophy advocates that existence is reasonable, that the world is inherently flawed, and that cherishing what we have, to make up for the flaws, to correct the shortcomings, and to transform the world.
If you agree that existence is reasonable and the world is flawed, you will use the method of human thinking to transform reality, formulate reasonable and moderate laws and regulations that meet the needs of human nature, so that everyone can adapt to them, and let everyone consciously abide by them, so as to achieve the purpose of resolving conflicts and solving problems.
If you agree with the way of thinking that goes with the flow and abides by morality, you will inevitably destroy the way of thinking about human nature, "poor heavenly reason, destroy human desires", and when you see the problems that have been determined, you will also deal with them with the psychology of going with the flow, which will easily lead to the intensification of contradictions and the accumulation of deeper grievances.
It can be seen from this that the real human thinking is the maintenance of the consciousness of the legal system, the self-reinforcement of the legal consciousness, and the strengthening of the society, and it is by no means the rational thinkers think that it will go with the flow and fly freely.
On the contrary, people with rational thinking tend to ignore the rules of the legal system, emphasize going with the flow, emphasize benevolence, righteousness and morality, pay attention to human feelings and sophistication, and other ideological methods of human governance, ignore that the legal system is an important means to maintain social order, ignore that supervision and management is the only means to improve a society with a legal system, and ignore that abiding by the law is the responsibility and obligation that everyone should fulfill.
This is the reason why human society chooses human thinking as its ideological method, and it is very simple: how can no one come to society, the country, or the world? In this world, human beings are the only species that has the ability to transform nature and develop social civilization, and have a high intelligence that is superior to all animals, and only human beings can transform the world, create the world, and create human civilization. No one has come from human society, civilization and progress, high-rise buildings, fine clothes and food. Without people, the world is nothing, just a moving rock, a planet.
Therefore, people should be detached from animal nature, give up absolute materiality, and should not excessively put material conditions above human nature and spirit, and should develop together and go hand in hand with material and spiritual.
In the ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Legalists once had the idea of the rule of law, but in the end, because the source of their thought came from the Book of Changes, and the congenital lack of "god" thought, and the congenital lack of "self" consciousness that human beings should have, resulting in the inability of Legalist thought to form a perfect method of thought, and finally Yu Qin did not end the political process of its superstructure, although many Legalists tried to be recognized by the society again, but finally could not return to the superstructure due to the imperfect theoretical foundation. For example, Wang Mang's restoration, Wang Anshi's reform, etc., have not been carried out to the end, what is the reason?
The reason is very simple, that is, under the political system without self-consciousness, people are like machines, and people and things are treated equally, ignoring the existence of human nature, and this kind of legal system construction will inevitably lack a reasonable humanized design, treat people and things equally, and overemphasize the will to centralize, so that the laws and regulations set up in this way will inevitably have a mechanical management system, which is difficult to reach a scientific and reasonable degree, and play a role in conforming to people's wishes and making everyone suitable.
The reason why Westerners have a strong sense of the legal system lies in the fact that the philosophical system of Westerners is perfect, Westerners agree that everyone has a god on their heads, that the soul and spirit are the consciousness that governs people, reflect on the defects of human consciousness themselves, and agree that there are congenital deficiencies and congenital defects between man and nature, so Westerners have self-reflection in the education they have received since childhood, and they are willing to accept the regulation of laws and regulations since childhood, and are willing to regulate their own behavior, which is related to the fact that Westerners have accepted the theory of defects in things since childhood.
However, it should be seen that the philosophical understanding of war is proactive, as opposed to aggressive. Hegel discusses the value of war in this way, arguing that war is an artificial normative value orientation, "war has a higher meaning, through which the ethical health of peoples is preserved by their indifference to the fixation of various limited provisions." At the same time, he believed that rational peace would only ossify the development of human nature, enclose man under a pattern, and could not progress in the pace of civilization. In fact, whether it is Hegel or Kant, their ideas are derived from the foundation of Greek civilization, that is, the psychological desire to transform nature.
