陈献章与明中期经学诠释及思想转向

Chen Xianzhang and Ming Middle Period Classics Interpretation and ideological Reorientation

陈献章受到其师吴与弼的启发,强调跳出程朱之学的束缚,通过自得、反省、静坐等形式来获得对儒家经典及其思想的认知与理解,并进而体悟圣人之道、本体之理。陈献章这种心学化的经典诠释思想与方法,促成了明代中叶心学的兴发,为王阳明之学的大兴奠定了思想基础。

Chen Xianzhang,inspired by his mentor Wu Yubi,emphasized shedding the restrictions of Cheng Hao,Chen Yi and Zhu Xi’s Confucianism and gaining understanding of and insight into Confucian classics and thinking through reflection and meditation,and thus gaining further understanding of Confucian sages and ontology.Chen’s idealistically-oriented interpretation of Confucian classics and methods stirred the flourishing of the school of the study of the mind and laid the ideological foundation for the rise of Wang Yangming’s theory.
