黄宗羲的王霸义利之辨

On Huang Zongxi’s Argument of King’s Absolute Ruling, Rightness and Profit

黄宗羲的天理人欲之辨是其思想的核心。在此框架下,形成了他的王霸义利之辨和经史结合之学术倾向。一路探索下来,我们发现,尽管黄宗羲似乎带来了某种新的元素,他依然是儒家学统的继承者。反而是其继承者对他思想的误解和片面化,才演化成了他现今的"经世致用"者和近代启蒙者之形象。

Huang Zong-xi’s argument of heavenly principles and human desires is the core of his thought and on this ground he forms his theory that consists of his viewpoints of king’s absolute ruling,rightness and profit and the studies of classics.However,despite the new elements he seems to have in his theory,Huang Zongxi is still an inheritor of Confucianism.It is the misunderstanding and one-sided views of his thoughts by his inheritors that lead to the misleading image of Huang Zongxi as a pragmatist and modern enlightener.
