论现代新儒家对《乐记》的美学诠释——以牟宗三、唐君毅、徐复观为中心

The Aesthetic Interpretation of Yueji of the Neo-Confucians:A Case Study of Mou Tsungsan,Tang Junyi and Xu Fuguan's Views

《乐记》是中国儒家美学最早的理论文献之一,以牟宗三、唐君毅、徐复观为代表的第二代现代新儒家对其进行了多角度的分析。牟宗三认为,它是一种完美的宇宙论。唐君毅认为,它在本质上表现了一种陶养性情的礼乐之道。徐复观则认为,它代表了儒家兼具美善的礼乐之教。三位学者不同思路的诠释对现当代儒家美学的研究有重要的启发,因为其揭示出了《乐记》作为儒家美学生命原点的两个根本内涵:礼乐既是形而上之道,又是形而下的现实世界之伦理价值的体现;礼乐是情感、心灵、精神的安顿之地。

Yueji is one of the most earliest academic text of Chinese Confucian aesthetics and it has been analyzed from different angles by Mou Tsungsan,Tang Junyi and Xu Fuguan,who are the representations of the second generation of the Neo-Confucian.Such as,Mou Tsungsan thought Yueji was one kind of perfect Cosmism;Tang Junyi thought it presented the Tao of Liyue essentially,which Cultivates people＇s nature and feeling;Xu Fuguan thought it presented the culture of Liyue.Three philosophers＇ interpretation has important meanings for the researches of modern Chinese aesthetics,because it prompts two ultimate meanings which makes Yueji become the origin of Chinese Confucian aesthetics.Firstly,Liyue is not only one kind of metaphysical Tao,but also has ethical representation in realistic society;Secondly,Liyue is such an especial place which can accommodate people＇s feeling,mind and spirit.
