以身为本是王艮思想中最为突出的思想。对于王艮的身本思想,我们可以从三个层面进一步把握:一是王艮把身视为天下万物之本,将之置于至尊地位,目的在于强调人的主体意识与主体精神;二是以他的自然观为研究基础,揭示其天人一理与心之本体的内在规律;三是从身与国家的关系突出诚意端本的重要性和反己正身的必要性。

Honoring human body is Wang Gen＇ s most prominent thought. As far as Wang Gen＇ s thoughts of honoring human body are concerned, we can make an analysis of them from three perspectives.
