王艮“身本论”的主体存在价值

THE EXISTING VALUE OF WANG GEN′S “MIND ORIENTATION”

该文是作者研究泰州学派主体性哲学的系列成果之一。文章首先分析了王艮“身本”与王阳明“心本”思想的关系 ,指出“心本”思想以心为宇宙本体 ,而“身本”旨在呼唤主体的自觉。然后 ,论述了“身本”思想的三个主要层次 :“尊身尊道”——个人只有在道的弘扬中才能自觉认识到人的价值 ,而道的全部价值只有体现在人的身上才能存在 ;“修身立本”——个体的自觉与完善是为天地立心、为生民立命的前提 ;“保身爱民”——承认个人的生存权利是社会群体价值的前提 ,立足于个人本位与重建合理的社会群体的理想。

This paper is one of the positive results on the subject philosophy of Taizhou Approach.The paper presents the analysis of the relationship between Wang Gen′s “Mind Orientation” and Wang Yangming′s “Self Orientation”,pointing out that“Mind Orientation”is based on the universe as noumenon while“Self Orientation”calls the noumenal consciousness.The paper also deals with the three main levels of “Self Orientation”:“Self respecting and Truth respecting”——the individual can realize his value in carrying forward the spirit of truth and the entire value of truth can exist when embodied in the individeual;“Self perfection and Principle extablishment”——the individual consciousness and perfection is based on obeying the nature and serving the people;and “Protection of Self and Love of People”——the individual existence is based on social group value as well as the rebuilt combination of self orientation and social group.
