内容摘要:电影《辛德勒的名单》上演后,出现了一种有趣的现象:二战期间对难民实施过人道主义救助的很多人,也被称为“辛德勒”,一时之间,冒出来众多“辛德勒”。从一定角度来看,“辛德勒现象”可以说是一个“坏人做好事”的现象。这一现象反映了人性的本质:人性可善可恶。既然人性可善可恶,似乎可以通过加强个人修养、实施博爱教育、用相关制度防止统治者为恶等方式,有效防止诸如奥斯维辛集中营、南京大屠杀等人类暴行的重演。但此事不可过于乐观。由于人性的恶植根于人类的基因之中,代代相传,不可清除,因此,人类随时都可能作恶。由于人性中根深蒂固的恶性,修身也好、教育也好、制度也好,都有不可克服的局限性。人类通往和平的路,荆棘满途。

Abstract: There has been an interesting phenomenon: a lot of people who helped the refugees during World War Ⅱ were called “Schindler” after the film “Schindler’s List”. From a certain perspective, “Schindler phenomenon” can be said to be a “bad guy done good” phenomenon, which reflects the essence of humanity: humanity is good, and at the same time, it’s evil. Since human nature is both good and evil, we maybe can prevent the human atrocities such as Auschwitz, the Nanjing Massacre happen again by enhancing personal accomplishment, implementing fraternity education, relating systems to prevent rulers’ evil. But we can not too optimistic. Because of the evil of human nature is rooted in human genes, human beings may make atrocities at any time. No matter whether accomplishment, education or system, has insurmountable limitations. The path to peace is full of thorns.
