《韩诗外传》哲学思想刍议

A Preliminary Study of the Philosophical Reflection of Han Shi Wai Zuan

《韩诗外传》以传诗名(以下简称《外传》),但其主要内容并非解诗,而是借诗借事来传达自己的思想主张。对天人性理的哲学思考是《外传》思想的重要内容,是其修身治国主张的立论基础。《外传》的哲学思想主要包括以"道"和"德"为本位的宇宙本体论、混合了自然性和伦理性的天道观,以及独具特色的人性论和历史观。在这些论述中,《外传》都表现出了对现实政治、人生问题的深切关注。《外传》之思想体系虽未完整严密,但体现了汉初试图建立大一统思想体系的努力,一定程度上成为董仲舒天人合一思想的理论雏形。

Han Shi Wai Zhuan is a book actually intended to convey what the author advocates ideologically by means of interpreting poems. Its main metaphysical thoughts are the basic arguments for self-cultivation and state management. Its philosophical thoughts in the main, including cosmos ontology with“Dao”and “De”as the noumenon, ideals combining nature with ethical features, and particular concepts of human nature and history, indicate a sincere concern for issues in the real world of life and politics. Imperfect as its thoughts are, Han Shi Wai Zhuan is an effort to construct a thought system of Unification in the early Han Dynasty, and theoretical preparation for Dong Zhongshu’s Universe-Human Wholeness as well.
