理在欲中,公欲即理——王夫之《诗广传》中的理欲观

Heavenly Principles Exist in Human Desires: On the Relationship between Human Desires and Heavenly Principles in Wang Fuchih's Shih kuangchuan

理欲关系问题是中国思想界探讨的重要问题之一。王夫之在《诗广传》中从"人性日生日成"的角度对人欲合理性进行肯定,对"公欲"、"私欲"概念进行了明确的分梳和辨析,并通过强调"以理导欲"及"取精用物"来对佛老及其他形式的禁欲论与薄欲论进行了有力的回击。王夫之的理欲思想体现了深刻的理性精神与人文关怀,带有明显的近代性特征,与西方近代人文主义与启蒙思想遥相呼应。

The relationship between human desires and heavenly principles is an important topic in the history of Chinese philosophy. In Shih Kuangchuan , Wang Fuchih demonstrated the reasonability of human desire by claiming his unique theory of human nature, differentiated the different notion of human desire. and then criticized the theory of abstinence of Buddhism. Lao ＇Izc and the others by advocating the controlling function of heavenly principles upon human desire and the importance of utilizing the material matters. We can see the profound spirit of rational sense and humanism in his theory. Wang＇s theory of relationship between human desire and heavenly principles owns some similarities with humanism and enlightenment idea of modern West world.
