戴震的自然必然本然人性论说探微

Views on Dai Zhen's Theory of Human Nature of Nature,Necessity and Essence

在中国传统人性理论中,戴震创造性地提出自然必然本然概念阐述自己的人性主张。梳理三个概念的人性论史流变可以发现,惟有戴震真正自觉而又全面地运用它们,不管是三词连缀,还是两词对举,都突显戴震人性论说贯穿古今、融汇百家的丰富内涵,展现出传承性、批判性和平民性的理论品质,由此戴震不仅终结了程朱理学人性论,而且也成为中国传统人性论说的集大成者。

In the Chinese traditional theory of human nature,Dai Zhen put forward creativelyconcepts of nature,necessity and essential to elaborate his theory of human nature. Review on the evolution of three concepts,we can found that only Dai Zhen really utilized them consciously and roundly. Regardless of three words or two words in Dai Zhen's theory of human nature,they all showed Not only the abundant connotation of communicating thoroughly and blending various schools,but also the theoretical quality of inheritance,critique and being close to civilian. It was Dai Zhen who both had terminatedd the Cheng- Zhu School's theory of human nature,but become a comprehensive expression of Chinese traditional theory of human nature.
