- Abstract
Politics is a special means for people to seek benefits, while using political power to maintain and improve the way of life and living standards of human beings. In a word, the premise of politics acts on and is created by human beings, which leads to the questioning of human nature. The relationship between human nature and politics has become the basic question of political philosophy. However, such issues have to be ignored under certain circumstances. Thinkers, philosophers and even politicians in different periods are building models for different political situations, trying to accurately explore the law and purpose of politics from the perspective of human nature.
At the same time, politics is an inseparable part of people’s life, and politics affects people’s life all the time. Therefore, the study of human nature should not be neglected in the study of politics. The legitimacy of politics in the process of various state activities becomes reasonable because of the participation of human nature, and also because the elements of human nature become uncontrollable and full of drama. Human nature determines the direction of politics, and politics determines the development of human nature. In short, different views of human nature lead to different views of politics, and political security may be the real insurance that affects a certain class’s way of life.
