牟宗三形著论商榷

The Critique of Mou Tsung-san's Doctrine of Manifestation(Xing Zhu)

《心体与性体》的一个显著特点是以形著论为根据,将五峰、蕺山独立为一系,并将其置于象山、阳明之上。牟宗三这一学说的合理性有待讨论。儒家将道德根据归于上天,只是一种"借天为说"的做法,这种意义的天只是虚的,不是实的,不能从根本上完成克治心学流弊的任务。要防止心学走向流弊,有效的办法是大力发展智性,三分方法为此提供了一个可行的思路。

In XinTi and XingTi, according to his Doctrine of Manifestation （Xing Zhu ）, Mou Tsung-san concluded that both Hu Wu-feng and Liu Ji-shan should be in the same school of thought which was above LU-WANG school of thought. But the rationality of the theory still need to be discussed. In Confucianism, as we all know, Morals are based on the Heaven. However, in the point, the Heaven, as a conception, is not a real object and just a metaphor. Essentially, the Heaven, as a metaphor, cannot cure the abuses of Mind school （LU-WANG school of thought）. In fact, developing the intellect of human is an effective measure to cure the abuses of Mind school. And the theory of human nature trichotomy （benevolence, intellect, eros ） gives us a possible methodology to practice the effective measure.
