关于现代儒学本体论重建问题的思考

A Consideration of the Reconstruction Problem of the Contemporary Confucian Ontology

在儒家现代重建的过程中,本体论的重建是相当重要的一个问题。只是在现代新儒家的学术探索当中,关于儒学本体的重建或重朱熹(如钱穆)、或重阳明(如张君劢),多有分歧,且各有所本。本文主要通过对宋明儒学中朱熹关于"理"和王阳明关于"良知"的这两种主流本体概念的比较和分析,并结合对现代新儒家形而上学的剖判,认为有必要将传统儒家的两种本体概念进行整合,"纳方于圆",跨越朱、王于本体论上的分歧,在形而上的领域重建一种"天包含人"的新型本体论。如此,现代儒学的重建或许才能走出一条路来,并且适应现代社会的需要。

In the process of modern reconstruction of Confucianism,the reconstruction of ontology is a very important issue.However,in the modern academic exploration of Neo-Confucianism,there are many different opinions on whether the reconstruction of Confucian ontology should stress Zhu Xi(such as Qian Mu)or Yangming(such as Zhang Junmai).In this paper,by comparing and analyzing Zhu Xi's theory about 'truth' and Wang Yangming's theory about 'conscience' and combining the concept of ontology and the modern Neo-Confucian metaphysics,the author holds that it is necessary to consider both the traditional Confucianism concepts,'Put the Square in the round' overlooking the differences between Zhu and Wang in ontology,in order to achieve the metaphysical reconstruction of a ' Nature that contains people' in the framework of a new ontology.so perhaps we can find a way in the reconstruction of modern Confucianism which adapts to the needs of modern society)
