《性自命出》:以思孟为主流的综合学说

Nature Comes From Ming: Comprehesive Doctrine With Zisi-Mencius School As Main Stream

《性自命出》简文昭示着儒家思想在孔门之后新的开拓与发展,而其叙述风格和行文模式颇合道家思维,战国中后期儒道等各学派初步合流淡化了简篇所反映的学派性质,使得简文的解读与定位趋向多元化和复杂化。对此时期的主要的理论范畴及哲学命题进行全方位考察,不难发现学术思想的渐进化及相互渗透性使简文的主体精神与儒家思孟学说契合,进而导引出"人性论"的深刻思考以及由此形成的论辩艺术,事实上已成为孔孟之间学术传承的津梁。儒家外"礼"内"仁"的处世哲学通贯于简文的全篇,而心性观念到礼乐教化的内外互修,深化了其仁义思想在道德修养中的情感因素,最终于哲学视阈下形成"性""命""道""情"论的完美结合。

The text of slips of Nature Comes From Ming declares the new exploitation and development of confucian thoughts after confucianism. And its narrative style and manner of writing are guite in conformity with Taoist thinking. The initial collaboration among Confucian, Taoist and other schools during the middle and late warring states period weakened the sect nature reflected by the slip passages, making it pluralistic and complex in the interpretation and orientation. By launching an omnidirectional investigation into the main theoretical realms and philosophical theses, it is easy to see that the gradual evolution of academic thoughts and the mutual permeability effected the agreement of the main spirit of the slips with Zisi-Mencius doctrine. Thereby a profound thinking over ＂the theory of human nature＂ was introduced, forming a debating art therefrom, and virtually serving as a beaten path for passing on and in- heriting the doctrine of confucius and Mencius. Running through the bamboo slips is the confucian philos- ophy of life of ＂propriety＂ outside and ＂ benevolence＂ inside. The cultivation of internal dispositional conception and external education of propriety and music deepens the emotional factor of the thought of benevolence and righteousness in moral cultivation. Finally it has achieved, in philosophical visual area, a perfect integration in the theory of ＂nature＂, ＂life＂, ＂principles＂ and ＂emotion＂.
