“理一分殊”与儒学重建——论刘述先新儒学思想的方法论原则

The Methodological Principle of Liu Shu-xian's Neo-Confucian Philosophy

刘述先新儒学思想始终贯穿着“理一分殊”的方法论原则。他在批判继承朱熹“理一分殊”说及卡西尔功能统一说的基础上,结合当代思想文化的特色,对“理一分殊”作了一种创造性的阐释,并将此作为自己建构新儒学思想体系的方法论原则。他对古今中外文化问题的处理、对儒家思想特质的揭示、对系统哲学的探索,都是通过对“理一分殊”的现代阐释来把握的。

Li-yi-fen-shu'(one principle, many manifestations) is a methodological principle which goes through Liu Shu-xian's contemporary New-Confucian philosophy. On the basis of critically inheriting Zhu-xi's doctrine of 'Li-yi-fen-shu' and Cassirer's doctrine of 'functional unity', Liu interpreted creatively 'Li-yi-fen-shu' connected with the contemporary ideology-culture's characteristics, and regarded it as a methodological principle. By interpreting 'Li-yi-fen-shu', he tried to settle the cultural problems all the ages, reveal the Confucian philosophy's characteristic and study the Systematic Philosophy.
