论顾炎武“经学即理学”的学术史意义

On the Academic Significance of "Confucian Classics Is Neo-Confucianism" Put forward by Gu Yanwu

朴学成为清代学术思潮,顾炎武有筚路蓝缕之功。他提出的"经学即理学"命题是清初批判宋明理学尤其是王学末流空疏学风最严正有力的话语。它以经学为理据瓦解了宋明理学的理论根基,代之以经世实学,在明清之际具有思想解放的意义;其致思趋向是通过音韵研究和文字训诂来解读原始经典从而通明圣道以经世济民,这使得以经典考据为主的新的学术研究范式得以确立,而其中所蕴含的实事求是精神也开启了近代科学实证主义的治学方向。
