董仲舒神学化自然观的逻辑进程

Logical Process of Dong Zhongshu's Theological Views of Nature

儒学到了西汉时期发生了重要的转折,其显著的标志就是董仲舒把当时社会上普遍流行的"自然主义"思想与儒家"人本主义"精神结合起来,形成了独特的"天人合一""天人感应"的神学化自然观。这种自然观的形成有其深刻的时代性,也有某种逻辑上的必然性。它根源于人们对自然界"同类相动"的普遍认识,经董仲舒"天人同类"的证明,必然形成"天人感应"的认识。

Confucianism had its significant turning point in the Western Han dynasty. The obvious sign is that Dong Zhongshu combined the socially prevalent＂naturalism＂with the Confucian＂humanism＂and formed the unique theological views of nature, namely“unity of heaven and man”and“heaven-man telepathy”. The formation of the views of nature not only has its profound feature of times, but also has some kind of logical inevitability. It was rooted in the general knowledge of “the interaction of the same kind” in nature and the views of “heaven-man telepathy” was inevitably formed with the proof of Dong Zhongshu’s “man and heaven being the same kind”.
