李光地性本论构建中的易学贡献

The Contribution of LI Guang-di's Yi-ology to His Ontology

李光地是清初理学名臣,著述颇丰,与康熙君臣相得,在儒学领域也颇有建树。其儒学思想根底在于其本体论。在其本体论视野中,宇宙分为两个互不相离又不能混同的层面,即超越的天道本体与具体的万事万物,天道本体有主宰义、神妙义、生生义、超然义、规律义、至善义等六义,为天地万物的大本大源。李光地以性或天地之性解释天道本体,所以其本体论可被称为性本论。《周易》中"天地之心"与"生生"的观念、"乾元"与"乾道"的观念、"继之者善也,成之者性也"的观念,在李光地性本论的构建中具有重要的作用和地位。

LI Guang-di, a famous Confucian minister in the Qing dynasty, wrote many books and quite had the achievements in Confu- cian field. He rooted his thoughts in ontology under the view of ontology in which the universe is divided into two levels both of them can not be separated and not be mixed together. The two levels are transcendent heavenly Dao and the concrete things. The heavenly Duo has six meanings including domination, mystery, creative creativity, transcendence, ruling, supreme goodness which is the basis and root of all the things in the universe. LI interpreted the heavenly Dao with nature or nature of heaven and earth so his theory of ontology can be regarded as ontology of nature. The ideas in the Zhouyi that the heart of heaven and earth and creative creativity, Qian Yuan, Qian Dao, the succeeding is good and the completion is nature have an important pole and position in LI＇s construction of ontology.
