摘　　要：西方的人文主义和中国传统儒学的人文精神,都主张"以人为中心",但前者着力于阐发个人的自由与诉求,而后者则力图将人纳入纲常伦理秩序的轨道。西方人文主义将人从人身依附和神权枷锁中解放出来,推动了西方现代化的发展,但其纵欲主义与拜金主义也给西方文明带来负面影响。儒家人文精神构成了华夏民族的精神动力,但其对个人自主性的扼制成为中国现代化发展的障碍。当代中国社会主义现代化的拓展,需要对这两种思想资源进行批判的借鉴。The Western humanism and Confucianist＇s spirit of humanity, all regarded humanbeing as the center of the world, but But the former Advocated greatly the individual freedom and desire, and the latter tried hard to let individuals to be controlled by the feudal ethical order. The Western humanism Liberated the individuals from the shackles of bondage and the theocracy, and promoted the development of Western modernization. However, it＇s the value orientation of carnal desire and Mammonism also had the negative influence on West the civilization. Confucianist＇s spirit of humani- ty, constituted the idea power of Chinese national spirit, but it restrained the individual independency, thus hindered the development of Chinese modernization. At present, in order to develop Chinese modernization, it is necessary for us to use critically the two thought resources with discrimination.
