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

高博銓 Po-Chuan Kao • Journal of Research in Education Sciences (2026)

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,...
