The essential power of human beings is the sum of all material abilities, spiritual abilities, and speaking abilities that humans have.
Essential attributes of man refer to the fundamental attributes that distinguish humans from animals. In the history of Chinese philosophy and education, different views on human nature have appeared, and different views on education have been derived. Mencius advocated that human nature is good; "conscience" and "good ability" that can be learned without learning are the beginning of all virtues, and the task of education is only to "make people feel at ease" and restore people's innate nature.
Xunzi believed that human nature is evil, and the reason why people can change evil and do good is the result of accumulated learning and hard work. Gaozi advocated that human nature is not divided into good and evil, emphasizing the natural attributes of human beings. Yang Xiong believes that human nature has both good and evil qualities, and the key to good or evil lies in learning. Dong Zhongshu, Han Yu and others advocated the theory of the three qualities of nature, dividing human nature into three grades, explaining that human good and evil are rooted in nature and expressed in emotions.
Source of "Beauty is the objectification of human essential power"
Marx's famous saying Marx first proposed in his early work "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844": "Beauty is the essence of human beings" The objectification of power." Later generations added: "Beauty is the affirmation and confirmation of the essential power of human beings."
Modern humanities rebelled against tradition by drawing on Western learning, and modern humanities intertwined enlightenment and national salvation. The double variation of oneness and division, contemporary anthropology moves from the loss of man to the return of man. The inner connection between the two sentences: the essential power of the aesthetic subject is objectified into beautiful things; (focusing on reflecting the subjectivity of beauty) beautiful things affirm and confirm the essential power of the aesthetic subject.
