荀学“天人合一”思想探讨

Argument on Xunzi's Ideas of "Harmony between Nature and Human Being"

荀学体系中的多个命题包含"天人相分"思想,但其真正目的在于证成"天人合一"。否定思孟学派"心性合一"的认识论致思模式,荀学从主客二分的认识论模式中寻求论证。"心物之合"的本质在于从结果上论证二者之合产生的概念、思维等如何有效地反映客观实际;"性伪之合"的目的是实现人自身内部的合一,在自然之"性"与后天之"伪"二者之间实现相互沟通与化成;最后达致"天地人之参"的世界之"合"境界,这是荀学"天人合一"思想的真义。

The ideas of ＂Division between nature and human being＂ run though a lot of Xunzi＇s proposi- tions, but his real intention is to prove ＂harmony between nature and human being＂. Denying Zisi-Menci- us School＇s ＂identifying the mind/heart with the innate nature＂,Xunzi seek for his moral epistemology on the basis of differentiating the subject from the object. The essence of ＂Combination between inner Heart and the thing＂ is to prove how their outcome such as concept and thinking effectively reflect the reality;Combination of the ＂inborn＂ and the ＂acquired＂ is to realize unification of human＇s inside ,in or- der to realize communication and formation between the ＂inborn＂ and the ＂acquired＂ ,and to reach the ul- timate realm of integration of the nature, the earth and the human being at the end, which is the true meaning of Xunzi＇s ideas of ＂harmony between nature and human being＂.
