东亚儒学中的茶山学:21世纪的视野

The Role of Tasan Learning in the Making of East Asian Confucianism:from 21^(st) Century Perspective

在东亚儒学发展史上,18世纪的朝鲜儒家学者丁若镛(茶山,1762-1836)代表东亚近世儒者批判并力图超越日趋僵硬的朱子学的新思想动向。茶山对朱子学既有因袭亦有创新,他既熟悉日本古学派又能加以批驳,以建构自己的思想体系。文章首先说明朝鲜儒学在东亚儒学史中的特质,其次论述茶山学在东亚儒学史中的融旧与铸新,最后展望茶山学在21世纪全球化时代的新启示。

In the history of the making of East Asian Confucianisms, the eighteenth-century Korean Confucian scholar, Chong Yagyong 丁若镛 （Tasan 茶山, 1762-1836）, played an important role. He pushed new intellectual trends that helped East Asian Confucians critique, break through, and think beyond the scope of Zhu Xi＇s learning. With regard to Zhu Xi＇s learning, in some respects we can say that Tasan followed in his footsteps while in other respects he developed something innovative and new. Tasan was also well-versed in the Confucian thought of the Japanese Classical school which he also criticized while constructing his own system of thought. In the first section of this article, I consider the special features of Korean Confucianism in the context of East Asian Confucianisms. Second, I discuss how Tasan creatively remolded the old to shape the new in the making of East Asian Confucianisms. Finally, I reflect on Tasan＇s important message for us today in this globalized age of the twenty-first century.
