冯友兰的“伦理概念”说——兼论冯友兰对陈寅恪的影响

The Theory of Ethical Concept in Feng Youlan's Early Thingking

冯友兰在1920年代后期的两篇论文中提出,中国历代的忠臣孝子,并非忠孝于个人,而是忠于君父的概念,其忠孝的对象"不在具体底世界"而在柏拉图所谓概念之世界。冯友兰的这种分析为他后来在1950年代提出的抽象继承法准备了方法的基础,可以视为近代以来寻求肯定传统道德的一种努力。本文对其思想作了详细的梳理,并对其新实在论的立场进行了分析,指出了其理论之所见和缺陷,以及其主张在传统道德现代传承转化中的借鉴意义,冯友兰的这一思想对陈寅恪撰写王国维挽辞序起了重大的影响。

Feng Youlan proposed in two papers in the late 1920's,that the Chinese loyal and filial piety are not to the individual,but faithful to the ethical concept of monarch or father. And the object of loyal and filial piety are not to the concrete world,but ideal world like Plato's. Feng Youlan's analysis prepared the basis for the Abstract inheritance method proposed by himself in the late 1950's. Feng Youlan's theory of ethical concept could be regarded as an effort to seek affirmation of traditional morality in modern period. The author gives a detailed analysis of his ideas and the position of the new realist philosophy in these two papers,and points out his theoretical insight and defects,as well as its position and significance in the modern transformation of traditional moral heritage,puts forward that Feng Youlan's thought of ethical concept had a important influence on Chen Yinque's famous preface to Wang Guowei' Elegy written in 1927.
