孔子“性与天道不可得而闻”探察

Exploratory of Confucius "Nature and Morality Cannot Be Heard"

"知天命"是成就儒家君子人格所必备的前提条件,按照古代"天人相分"与"天人合一"的理论可以得知,对"天命"的认知不能离开对"性与天道"的体认。然而,"夫子,乏言性与天道不可得闻"却给后世造成了很大的困惑。造成这种现象出现的原因是,孔子基于其对言语观的认知,感受到对"性与天道"的认知是每一个个体在"习"中自然体认的结果,因此采取了"以无言代言"的方式。

＂Knowing destiny＂ is the prerequisite for achieving of Confucian gentleman＇s personality,according to the ancient ＂Man and Heaven are separate＂ and ＂Man and Heaven are together＂ theory, thecognition of ＂destiny＂ can not leave on the recognition of ＂Nature and the Morality＂. However, ＂thewords of the Master of Nature and Morality can not be heard＂ caused later a lot of confusion. The reasonfor this phenomenon is that Confucius by his perception of speech concept and feel that ＂Nature andMorality＂ is the result of cognitive, which individual in the ＂learning＂ in recognition of the natural body,so take a ＂no Introduction endorsement ＂approach.
