道在求其通,解经须性灵——一代通儒焦循的经学思想

On The Thought of Confucian Classics Studies of Jiao Xun

文章从“考据不是经学”、“实测与贯通”、“惟经学可以言性灵”三个层面,探讨了乾嘉学者焦循的经学思想。文章指出:焦循对当时“考据”学风的批评,体现了当时经学信仰与学术客体之间的某种紧张。焦循提倡实测与贯通,则开创了一种注重过程研究的经学研究方法。焦循强调无性灵不可言经学,走上了经学与子学的整合之路,为乾嘉以后经学研究转向多元化提供了新的经学诠释理论。

The paper afialyzes the thought of Confucian Classics Studies of Jiao Xun into three portions, which＇ are the investigations based on evidence are not the Confucian Classics studies, measurement and syncretization and the only qualification for perspicacity to the Confucian Classics Studies. It points out that the tension between the belief of Confucian Classics Studies and the academic object was to some extend reflected by the criticism that Jiao put forward to the style of the investigations based on evidence. The emphasis of measurement and syncretization initiated a way of study focusing on the process. Only the perspicuous scholars were qualified to the Confucian Classics Studies, with which it led a combination of ancient Chinese school studies. It helped to supply a new hermeneutic theory to the multiple perspectives of Confucian Classics Studies after the reign of Emperors Qianlong and Jiaqing.
