牟宗三早期圆成论与后期合一论之比较

A Comparative Study of MOU Zong-san's Early Theory of Perfection and Later Theory of Unity

牟宗三的合一论可分为早期圆成论和后期合一论两个部分,两者之间有继承和发展的关系。尽管后期合一论较之早期圆成论更为完善,思想层面更高,但在一些重大理论环节上也有更多的失误。这主要表现在以无相作为新的合一的先验原则,以"放得下"论无相等方面。后期合一论更为曲折含混,复杂难解,就学理的准确性而言,尚不如早期圆成论。

MOU Zong-san's theory of unity consists of two sections: the early theory of perfection and the later theory of unity. Although the latter is more improved and at a higher spiritual level,it has more mistakes in some crucial theoretical issues,especially taking formlessness as a new priori principle of unity and explaining formlessness with the concept of'putting down'. Because of these mistakes,MOU's later theory of unity is much more confusing and complicated so that it is less accurate than his early theory of perfection.
