十力学派与儒学的现代转化

The Xiong Shili School and the Modern Turn in Confucianism

十力学派是现代儒学中一个重要的学术流派,对于儒学的现代转化起着不可忽视的作用,也为儒学的未来发展路径提供了借鉴。十力学派有三个基本特质:一是就问题意识而言,秉持了晚清以来开启的“现代性”意识,致力于现代中国方案的构建;二是就学理而言,以“心性之学”来接合古典与现代、中国与西方,以寻求古典中国与传统儒学的现代转化之路;三是就学脉发展而言,从熊十力、牟宗三等对道统、学统、政统的全面企图,转向了其后学以继承学理为己任的学术理路。从晚清康有为等开启的传统向现代转化的课题及其探索,到十力学派的传承演绎,表明无论是制度儒学还是心性儒学,都不足以单独构建整全的现代秩序与现代中国方案。儒学的现代转化必须以承认并接纳多元架构为前提,才能在现代社会中恰当安顿与坚守自身的价值主张。

The Xiong Shili school represents a major lineage in modern Confucianism whose role in the modern turn in Confucianism cannot be ignored.The Xiong Shili school has three fundamental characteristics.First,it maintains an awareness of"modernity"that emerged during the late Qing dynasty and is devoted to the building of a plan for modern China.Second,it attempts to use a"learning of mind and inherent nature"(xinxing zhi xue)to reconcile the classical with the modern and the Chinese with the Western,in search of a path to a modern turn for classical China and traditional Confucianism.Third,it has seen a shift from Xiong Shili and Mou Zongsan's attempt to address not just the scholarly tradition(xuetong)but also the moral tradition(daotong)and political tradition(zhengtong)to a narrower mission among their latter-day followers that is limited to carrying on the scholarly tradition.The continuation and working out of the Xiong Shili school shows that the modern turn in Confucianism must acknowledge and accept a diverse framework if it is to situate itself and advocate for its own value to modern society.
