“民惟邦本”是中国传统政治文化的精华,“以人为本”是人类政治文明的先进理念;“民本”思想强调的主要是决定国家政权生死存亡,可以载舟、也可以覆舟的群体性的民;而“人本”理念尊重的主要是作为普遍意义上个体性的人的价值、利益、权利、尊严等。深入辨析了“民本”思想与“人本”精神的异同,对于我们深刻理解党中央关于“三个代表”重要思想和以人为本的“科学发展观”具有重要启迪。 “The people of the state” is the essence of Chinese traditional political culture, “people-oriented ” is the advanced concept of human political civilization; “people-oriented ” thought is mainly to determine the life and death of the state power, can carry the boat, also Can be overthrown by the group of people; and “People ” concept of respect is mainly as a universal sense of individual values, interests, rights, dignity and so on. In-depth analysis of the similarities and differences between the “people-oriented” thinking and the “humanistic” spirit is of great enlightenment for us to profoundly understand the important thinking of the party Central Committee on the important thought of “three represents” and the people-oriented “scientific development concept” .
