王充“天人相分”自然观考论

On Wang Chong's "Heaven and Man are Separated" View of Nature

只有观念意识上从自然界分离出来并还原其本性,人才能把自然界看成是自己的认识对象,人的认识水平特别是自然科学水平才能得到很快的提高。王充是中国历史上建立系统的"天人相分"自然观的第一人,他的天人相分思想、"知物由学"的态度以及新"神秘主义"偶会论隐喻虽然没有能在中国开科学精神之先河,但是其重要的历史地位是毋庸置疑的。

Only when human beings are ideologically independent from nature can they take nature as a cognitive object and improve their cognitive level, especially that level of natural science. Wang Chong is the first person in Chinese history who has established ＂Heaven and man are separated＂ view of nature. His thought that man is separated from nature, his attitude that knowledge is obtained by learning, and his new mysticistic metaphor are of vital importance in the development of scientific spirit in China. As a result, his role in history is unquestionable.
