阳明学与宋代理学的关系及其定位

The Relationship of Yangming's Philosophy with Song Dynasty Confucian and its Orientation

阳明哲学是对宋代理学集大成者朱子学之反动,但这种反动不是源于宋代理学之外,而是源于宋代理学之内的,甚至可以说是宋代理学自身内在逻辑理路的必然发展。与朱熹理学相对,阳明哲学一直被冠为心学,心学一词虽可在一定程度上反映出阳明哲学的特点,但也遮蔽了阳明思想的实践内容。阳明哲学中的重要概念皆体现了一种强烈的实践特征,故作者将阳明哲学的性质定位为:实践的良知之学。

Yangming's Philosophy is the counteraction of Zhu Xi School of thoughts, the great Confucian study in Song Dynasty. However, this counteraction is not the counteraction out of Song Dynasty Confucian study, but it is the inside one of that study. It is even the inevitable development of Song Dynasty Confucian study's innate intrinsic logical thinking. To contrast with Zhu Xi Confucian study, Ming-yang Philosophy is renowned as 'Hsin-hsueh'(School of Mind). This word reflects the characteristics of Yangming's Philosophy, although this word conceals the practical content of Ming-yang Philosophy. Many important concepts in Yangming's Philosophy embody an intense practical characteristic. Therefore, this article concludes the features of Yangming's Philosophy as the study of practical innate knowledge.
