“礼治”是荀子的重要思想,荀子认为“礼”之起源,是为了保持物质和人欲的平衡。欲望,是人生来就有的,满足欲望是人的本性。但是人人都依自己的愿望行事的话,可想而知世界就会混乱不堪,而且外物有限,不能想要多少就要多少。所以需要制定“礼”来规范人们的行为,合理引导欲望。荀子认为“礼者,养也”,“礼”并非是刻意压制人的欲望,而是合理满足人的欲望,以及合理分配物质,使社会相对稳定。
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
