简论徐敬德的认识论

On So Kyong-Dok's Epistemology

韩国哲学家徐敬德,在韩国的性理学发展中起了巨大的推动作用。徐敬德的气哲学是对张载、邵庸和朱熹思想的继承和改造。格物致知,重思考,但不能正确处理感性认识与理性认识的关系,重视对"终极真理"的追求,但以自己无疑惑为最高境界,显然脱离了实践检验真理的标准。

Korean philosopher So Kyong-dok makes great contributions to the evolution of Korea＇s Neo-Confucianism. His qi philosophy inherits and transforms the theories of Chang Chae,Shao Yong and Zhu Xi. Although he advocates ＂cognition through observation＂ and stresses meditation,he cannot handle properly the relationship between perceptual knowledge and rational knowledge. So Kyong-dok attaches great importance to the pursuit of the ultimate truth, but he goes beyond practice the criterion of testing the truth since he regards his no puzzlement as the lofty realm.
