试论陈亮的功利主义思想

Simple Research into Chenliang's Minds on Utilitarianism

陈亮是南宋著名思想家,是永康学派的集大成者,他的思想既没有师承门户,也不构成体系,但他的思想是以功利主义为核心。他主张经世致用,反对泛泛而谈,主张才智用于实际才算真才智,不以名义作标准。这无疑是对当时正统道学的严重挑战。他的这些思想都是针对当时的实际,在中国思想史上具有不容忽视的地位。本文从他的军事及针对朱熹的论辩中来分析他的功利主义思想。

Such ideas were all directed against the circumstances and they were endowed with status not to be ignored in Chinese ideological history. This passage analyzed Chenliang's minds on utilitarianism from his military thought and his debate against Zhuxi.
