王艮“安身”思想探析

The Exploration of Wang Gen's Thought of "protecting self"

安身思想是王艮“格物”理论的延续。王艮的“格物”说并未停留于修齐治平的儒家传统思想，而是触入反映时代特点的新内容，鲜明而大胆地提出了更为关注自我、关注人自身的“安身立本”说，阐发了保身、尊身等一系列思想，表达出一种强烈而自觉的拯民救世的社会责任感和使命感，对泰州后学急人之难的侠义精神影响很大。

Wang Gen's idea of Protecting Self is the extension of the theory of 'Studwug Phenomena of Nature'. His theory integrated new content which reflected the traits of modern times rather than remained the traditional Confucianism of cultivating and putting the people in order. He distinctly and bravely promoted the theory of 'settling down and getting on with one's pursuit', which paid more attention to oneself; and he set forth a series ot ideas such as pro tecting self, respecting self, etc, expressing a strong and spontaneous sense of social responsibility and the sense of mission. This theory had a profound influence on the successor of TaiZhou school.
