严儒释之辨,破图貌之误——论戴震的佛学观

Be Strict on the Distinction of Confucianism and Buddhism, Clarificate the Misunderstanding of the Picture of Ancestor——Views on Dai Zhen’s outlook of Buddhism

戴震是清代卓然的考据学大师和独具个性的儒者。拙文在简要回顾清朝前期佛教现状基础上,就戴震对于佛学的基本观点进行探讨。戴震既主张"老释同质论",又反对儒释调和论,表现出与众不同的佛学观;戴震不加区别地将老释并作批判鹄的,且严厉指责儒释融合,既有缺乏严谨之处,又有不够宽容之嫌。尽管如此,戴震为了"求观圣人之道"而不惧权威、大胆质疑的儒者情怀和批判精神值得后人学习借鉴。

Dai Zhen was an outstanding scholar of textology and Confucianist in Qing dynasty. On the basis of reviewing the earlier period status of Buddhism,Dai Zhen’s distinctive outlook of Buddhism will be discussed. He not only maintained the homogeny of Taoism and Buddhism,but also opposed the compromise of Confucianism and Buddhism. Because of criticizing Taoism and Buddhism indiscriminatingly and accusing the blending of Confucianism and Buddhism bitterly,Dai Zhen lacked strictness and tolerance a bit,but his Confucianist feelings and critical spirit of defying authoritative- ness and daring to doubt for the purpose of seeking the Tao of sages deserved our study and respect.
