【摘要】 柯蒂斯·哈根在对荀子欲望与动机理论的解释中系统探讨了荀子思想中“性恶”与“成善”之间的张力问题。哈根将欲望区分为“基本欲望”与“具体欲望”，认为道德转化并非消除基本欲望，而是通过礼义教化与理智引导以发展出一种“辅助性动机结构”，使人在对欲望的审慎权衡中逐步形成新的、合于“道”的动机取向。哈根的解释具有明显的休谟主义的倾向，强调欲望作为行动的根本动机，因此其理论在解释荀子“心之所可”“可道”等概念时存在困难。荀子思想之总体所注重的是理性的认知，其道德动机理论实际上更接近一种以“认知—信念”为核心的动机模式，强调的是“心”对“道”的肯可本身即具激发行动的力量，而非依赖欲望驱动的审慎计算。更多还原

【Abstract】 In his interpretation of Xunzi’s theory of desire and motivation,Kurtis Hagen systematically explores the tension between "the bad nature of human beings" and "the cultivation of goodness" in Xunzi’s thought.Hagen distinguishes desires into "basic desire " and "specific desire",arguing that moral transformation does not entail eliminating basic desires.Instead,it involves developing an "auxiliary motivational structure" through ritual education and rational guidance,enabling individuals to gradually form new motivation orientations aligned with the "Dao" via prudent deliberation over desires.Hagen’s interpretation exhibits a distinct Humean tendency,emphasizing desire as the fundamental motivation for action.Consequently,his theory encounters difficulties when explaining concepts in Xunzi’s thought such as "mind’s approve" and "approving the Way".The overall framework of Xunzi’s thought prioritizes rational cognition,and his theory of moral motivation is in fact closer to a "cognition-belief" centered model,it emphasizes that the mind’s affirmation of the Dao itself possesses the power to motivate action,rather than relying on desire-driven prudential calculation.更多还原
