Mandate of Heaven and Human Becoming:A New Exploration of Wang Fuzhi's Theory of Human Nature
The first sentence of the Zhongyong reveals a priori that human nature originates from the Mandate of Heaven,and since human nature is the essential characteristic of human beings,the transcendent dimension of human beings can be verified.Com-bining the theory of the relationship between heaven and life in the Zhouyi,Wang Fuzi takes heaven as the only original place of sex,transcending the dualistic human nature theory of"fate and temperament"of the science of physics.He also emphasized the temporali-ty of reality,fused metaphysics and metaphysics,looked into the future and put forward the theory of human nature of"growing and at-taining completion daily",that is,the nature of human beings originates from heaven,and then it needs to be formed through the prac-tice of continuously upgrading to the heavenly way in the latter day.The consistency of the innate and the acquired cannot be cut off,and the body and the use of the same,which gives strong theoretical support to the Confucian saying of adulthood with the goal of"the unity of heaven and mankind",and it is also a key to grasping Wang Fuzhi's development of the rationale of the science.
