人性的探討及其啟示：J. Bruner與賈馥茗之觀點的交融 The Discussion of Human Nature and Its Implications: The Integration of the Viewpoints of J. Bruner and Jia Fuming

有關人性的探討，歷來多所討論，但未盡周全。本文以美國心理學家J. S. Bruner與我國學者賈馥茗的觀點為據，採取詮釋學方法，進行分析和詮釋，綜整歸納，期能更明確掌握人性。本研究指出，前者認為人類因其較長的未成熟狀態，而提升其受教性，同時受人類所創造的社會文化之薰陶，啟迪心智，因而發展出複雜的思考能力，增進其適應力；後者則主張人性具有自然之性、基本情感、欲求以及官能。綜括而言，兩者的論點各具特色，統觀之，有助於增進人性輪廓的完整性，而善用人類的未成熟狀態則能降低風險和欲求，...
