摘　　要：荀子无神论思想根植于其“天人之分”的天人观,荀子通过论述天道与人道的区别体现朴素的唯物主义思想,在此基础上荀子主张人要积极发挥主体性作用,“制天命而用之”成为其突出特点。荀子从成人和正国两方面强调礼的规范引导作用,其目的在于人道德品行的完善和社会秩序的和谐。荀子高扬人的价值,突破了天命神学的迷信观念,彰显理性精神和无神论思想,是先秦时期认识论进步的标志。荀子着眼于“一个世界”的整体理念,体现了“人文化成”的实践创造性和善学重人的人文主义精神。Xunzi's atheistic thought was rooted in the concept of human and heaven of“the distinction between heaven and human”.Xunzi expressed his simple materialism by discussing the difference between the Dao of Heaven(Tian Dao in Chinese Pinyin)and the Dao of humanity(Ren Dao in Chinese Pinyin).On this basis,Xunzi advocated that people should actively play the role of subjectivity,highlighted by“adapting the law of heaven and making the use of it”.Xunzi emphasized the normative and guiding role of etiquette from two aspects:becoming responsible adults and putting the country on the right track with the intention of perfecting the human morality and the harmony of social order.Xunzi exalted the value of human beings,broke through the superstitious concept of the fate theology,demonstrated the rational spirit and atheistic thought,which was the symbol of epistemology in the Pre-Qin Period.Xunzi focused on the overall concept of“one world”,embodying the practical creativity of“pursuing a civilized world through education”and the humanistic spirit of being keen on learning and being people oriented.
