摘要

本文針對姜忠奎《荀子性善證》之觀點進行批駁。依循姜氏理路，衍為「荀子傳授源流」、「非孟之意」、「性惡之恉」三項論述主題分別考察，實際檢視全書論據與推論形式的得失。大抵姜氏持論過於片面，論理多為「循環論證」，又採「外在研究法」，少於實際梳理《荀子》理路，遂致荀子性善的翻案失敗。最後，本文藉由近代學人的研究成果，推測證成荀子性善的可能。但在另一方面，本文認為與其因為義理上的可能向度，將荀子改稱「性（可）善論」，毋寧保留「性惡」之名，以顯示孟、荀各自的「典範」意義。

This paper comments the viewpoint of Xunzi Human Good Argument that is proposed by Chiang chung kuei. According to the thinking of Chiang, we divide his thinking into 'The thinking source of Xunzi,' 'the reason why Xunzi criticize Mencius,' and 'what the Human Evil of Xunzi is' these three items to discuss and survey the drawbacks of inferring for the full book, respectively. The Chiang's thinking is arbitrary, most thinking are vicious circle, and he didn't discuss the context of Xunzi very much, so that to reverse a previous judgment is failure. Finally, this paper proposes the concept of Human Evil of Xunzi and thinks it should be reserved to distinguish thinking between Mencius and Xunzi by surveying recent papers.
