论朱熹的“去旧习”说

On Zhu Xi's Theory of Removing Old Habits

朱熹理学理论的首要宗旨是通过一套人性的修养方法,以革除"习气"对本性的障蔽,进而促使潜存的道德本性如实彰显。朱熹从"内引"和"外诱"两个方面来解释旧习的成因,并对"去旧习"如何可能进行了探讨,强调学校教育与童蒙教育对德性养成的积极作用。以"行为理论"和"地方哲学"的观点对朱子气质变化("去旧习")说作一重新解释,可以照明该理论对成德过程的积极意义。

The purpose of Zhu Xi's theory of cultivation lies in,by removing influences of bad habits,actualizing the original nature in order to ascend the level of personhood to the utmost.Zhu Xi conceives that an old habit retains two dimensions of disposition,namely,a disposition that flows from the 'internal factor' and the other that flows from the 'external factor'.He also makes an exploration of how to get rid of those old habits.Zhu Xi states that school education and children's education have a positive influence on the personal development.In accordance with views of 'behavior theory' and 'local philosophy' this paper makes a reinterpretation of Zhu Xi's idea of removing old habits so as to highlight his theory's positive influence upon a person's cultivation of virtues.
