略论郭店儒简学术思想的过渡性特征

A Brief View of Transitional Features of the Academic Thinking in the Confucian Bamboo Slips Unearthed in Guodian

郭店儒简在儒家思想史上有上承孔子、下启思孟的重要意义。其所论性情并不是纯粹的自然性情,而以儒家一向最为关注的道德性情为主要内容;其人性论属于内在的认识理路且有明确的性善论倾向;而它以"天人有分"、"穷达以时"应对命运之命,又以"敦于反已"、"慎求于己"应对天命之命的态度,也与孔子、子思、孟子之说相契合。这些都充分说明了儒简学术思想的过渡性特征。

The Confucian bamboo slips are significant in carrying on Confucian heritage and enlightening Zisi and Mencius＇ s thoughts in the history of Confucianism. The character that the bamboo slips discussed doesn＇t refer to pure natural character but the moral character the Confucians always showed most concern with. Again the human nature theory they advocate follows an internal cognitive approach and shows an obvious tendency of virtuous humanity theory. Moreover,their understanding of destiny of ＂The heaven and men are different＂and ＂Human thorough knowledge of the world won＇t be obtained unless persisting protractedly in exploring nature＂and their attitudes of＂honestly reflecting on oneself＂and＂cautiously demanding for oneself＂towards the heavenly destiny highly coincide with the statements of Conficius,Zisi and Mencius. All these evidently show the transitional features of Confucian academic thoughts.
