江户时期伊藤仁斎《易经古义》之探析

Analysis on Itō Jinsai's The Ancient Meaning of I Ching

日本江户時代的著名哲学家伊藤仁斎,在日本哲学史上占有重要的地位,他著有多部著作,其中著名的易学著作《易经古义》分为三个部分:第一部分纲领,第二部分解说了乾坤两卦,第三部分阐释了对文言的理解,但只是解说了针对《乾》卦的一部分,对其他部分并没有言及。伊藤仁斎注重周易的义理,对卜筮持否定态度,这未免太过偏颇,故而对伊藤仁斎的观点,在日本也有许多著名学者对其进行了批判。但伊藤仁斎被认为肇始了日本古学易学之端,在日本的易学史上占据很重要的地位。

Itō Jinsai, a philosopher of the Edo period, played an important role in the history of Japanese philosophy. He wrote many books such as The Ancient Meaning of I Ching. This book is divided into three parts. The first part indicates the book's programme. The second part explains the heaven and earth hexagrams. The third part illuminates the understanding of classical language, but focuses only on the Qian part of a symbol. Jinsai paid more attention to the I-Ching theory, and took a negative attitude towards the divination. This may be too one-sided, and makes him get criticised by many famous scholars in Japan. Jinsai is believed to be a founder of the ancient learning of I Ching. He has a very important influence on the history of Japanese I-Ching study.
