冯梦龙情学思想探本

Feng Menglong and the Ideological Trend of Emotion in the Late Period of the Ming Dynasty

冯梦龙的情教说是晚明尊情思想发展的高级阶段。冯梦龙提出“情”的本体论 ,将“情”推到了至上的地位。但情与理斗争 ,并没有超越传统的思维模式。尊情思想没有发展成维护个人权益的理论。“情”本体论的建立也不是要推翻旧道德 ,而是要为现存道德更换基础 ,以此去拯救世道人心。冯梦龙的情教说和尊情思潮都未能实现向近代思想的转换。这是因为社会的政治、经济、思想观念都没能提供这种转换的条件。

The theory of the emotional moral education advanced by Feng Menglong is the highest stage in the ideological trend which emphasized the value of the human emotion in the late period of the Ming Dynasty. Feng Menglong had constructed the ontology of the emotion, but this theory did not surpass the feudalistic ethics and the traditional mode of thinking, and the ideological trend the emotion also did not develop into a theory of defending the human rights. Feng Menglong did not want to overthrow the old moral system. The only thing he want to do is to change the basis of the old moral system and save the society. Both the theory of the emotional moral education and the ideological trend of the emotion did not develop into the capitalist theory, because there were no proper conditions for developing the capitalist ideas in the society at that time.
