薛敬之理学思想略论

The Study on Xue Jing-zhi's Neo-Confucianism

薛敬之的思想上承河东薛王宣,下启高陵吕木冉,侧重于理气之辨,并以"存心"为宗旨。他反对朱子的"理先气后"之说,认为理气相即不离,且互为体用;主张"心"即是理即是善,认为学者首先要"识心"。他的这一"重气"思想和对心体的重视为明代中期儒学及关中理学的发展带来了新的活力,成为推动关学中兴的一位重要人物。

The Neo--Confucianism of Xue Jing--zhi springs from Xue Xuan＇s Philosophy and Inherited by Lv Nan. The thinking of Xue Jing--zhi focus on the debate about Li and Qi, and ＂keep the Mind＂ for the purpose. Xue Jing--zhi againsts the theory of ＂Li is before Qi＂ and emphasizes Li and Qi cannot leave each other as the relationship of Ti--yong. He also claims the Mind is the principle and the good, so he believes the scholars shoud be aware of the Mind. The ideology of on the importance of Qi and the Mind brings new vitality for the development of Neo--Confucianism in the midMing and in guanzhong area, and becomes an important figure in GuanXue Restoration.
