- Abstract:
- The thought of supremacy of human beings，meaning that human beings are the supreme species inthe world，is one of the important psychological theories in ancient China. Over two thousand years，the ancientthinkers had proposed different views on the thought of supremacy of human beings，such as endowment-of-qiview，upright-posture view，labor view，social-animal view，emotion view，language view，intelligence view，and morality view. Based on modern cognitive science experiments and observations about animal thinking，emotion，language and other psychological analysis，a variety of views on the thought of supremacy of humanbeings have been investigated. The findings indicate that only morality and faith constitute the supremacy ofhuman beings over animals.
