玄学名士的情礼观探微

The Relationship of Metaphysical Scholars' Sentiments and Ethics

情礼关系既是一个永恒的历史课题,又是一个复杂的历史课题。先秦时期,儒道两家对情礼关系就有不同的看法;魏晋时期,社会动荡,政治黑暗,情礼关系受到了挑战。何晏、王弼、嵇康、阮籍、向秀、郭象等一批魏晋玄学名士,为了重建自己的理想社会和理想人格,重新关注和思考宇宙自然与人生,探讨道德与人性。随着时事的变迁,玄学名士们纷纷以不同的言、行对情礼关系做出了不同的诠释。

The relationship of sentiments and ethics is a complicated and eternal historical issue. While Confucians and Taoists already had different views on it in Pre-Qin Period, the social unrest and darkness of Wei-Jin Period posed even greater challenges to it. The metaphysical scholars, such as He Yan, Wang Bi, Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Xiang Xiu and Guo Xiang, living in the turbulent times and being cynical, began to rethink about universe, nature and life and explore the ethics and nature of human beings to restore their ideal society and human personality. With the changes of time, the metaphysical scholars interpreted the relationship of sentiments and ethics differently with their words and deeds respectively.
