论惠栋易学的思想特点及其思想史意义

On Features of HUI Dong's Yi-ology and Its Significance in Chinese Ideological History

惠栋通过易学建立的朴学范型具有鲜明的思想特点:他将传统的经学考据发展成自觉的证明学说,完成了朴学的知识性转向;他将汉易的象数之学综合成更加完整的象化模型,优化了建立在行为理性之上的传统易学范本;他还提出兼两说与既济说,发挥出一套理情成善的礼治理论,将宋儒的天理重新解释成具体的个体性的分理,奠定了清代哲学走向个体化与制度化的思想方向的基础。因此,从近代哲学的演化趋势来看,可以将惠栋的朴学范型看成是心性哲学与理性哲学融合的第一个理论成果。

Through Yi-ology,HUI Dong builds up his philological paradigm with distinctive characteristics：He completed an intellectual philological transition by developing the classics textual research to a self-conscious positivistic theory; he integrated the image-numerology of Han tradition into a more complete imagery model,optimizing the traditional Yi paradigm established on the basis of behavior rationality. Moreover,he set forth a set of ruling-by-ritual theory by which man s emotions can be refined to goodness. He reinterpreted the Heavenly Principle into individual concrete principles, laying the foundation for the philosophy of the Qing Dynasty to turn to individualization and institutionalization. Therefore, by the development of modem （ 1840-1919 ） philosophy, HUI＇s philological paradigm can be regarded as the first theoretical achievement of the fusion of the heart/mind philosophy and that of Principle/nature.
