陈献章之实学观——兼论其心学之本质

CHEN Xian-zhang's Practical Science——On the Essence of Chen's Theory of Mind

陈献章曾经谈到过"实学"这一概念。但是,这并不表明陈氏很重视实学。在其心一元论或道一元论思想体系中,实学并不具有独立性和重要性。陈氏最终指向自然状态,在自然状态中,不存在内外、体用、动静、物我之分。所谓的虚实之分除了方便论证和分析外,没有更多的意义。在陈氏看来,自然是至高、至善之存在,实学只有在自然状态中才有意义。因此,陈氏更重视宇宙万物的自然状态,而不是其实用与否。

Chen Xianzhang had talked about the concept of practical science,but it does not mean that he attached great importance to practical science.in his systerm of thought about Heart monism or Tao monistic,practical science does not have the independence and significance. Eventually,Chen＇s practical science which tend to the state of nature is not exist difference between Inside and Outsiade,Dynamic and Static,Things and I in the natural state. There is no more sence about distinguishing ritual and Actuality in addition to facilitate the demonstration and analysis. Chen appears that practical science is meaningful only in the natural state because of the nature is the existence of the supreme and perfection. So,Chen pays more attention to the natural state of the everything in the universe,rather than practical or not.
