刘敞天命论的双重性

The Duality of Liu Chang’s Manifest Destiny

刘敞敬畏天命,并且认为除了圣人之外,一般人是不可能知道天命的。刘敞的天命论具有双重性,这种双重性又在为现实政治服务上达成一致。他一方面认为人应当敬畏、接受和顺从天命,难免染上迷信和唯心主义的色彩;另一方面又强调要充分发挥人的主观能动性,这又使得他的天命论中包含着一些唯物主义的成分并闪耀着主体性的光辉。

Liu Chang feared of fate ,and he thought that in addition to the saints, ordinary people can not know it. His fate has a dual nature,and this duality in services for the real political come to consensus. One hand, he believed that man should fear, accept and obeys fate; the other hand, he stressed the need to give full play to people＇s initiative, which in turn made the fate of his theory containing a number of materialism composition and brilliantly shining with subjectivity.
