论熊门师弟对《孟子》“口之于味”章的解释

On the Interpretions of Xiong Shili and His Students to the Chapter of the Mencius

"口之于味"章是《孟子》中阐明性命关系的重要文本。熊十力及其三个弟子都重视并解读过此章。解读此章的关键是如何解释其中的"命"字。熊十力以性命合一的宇宙论批评了以赵岐为代表的传统解释的命定论倾向;徐复观主张性内命外;牟宗三认同赵岐的注释,批评熊、徐的观点;唐君毅认为"命"是指"义命"。四人的解释构成一个否定之否定的过程,唐氏的解释最为恰当。

The chapter of the mouth to the taste in Mencius is an important text about the relation of nature and fate. Xiong Shill and his students noticed and interpreted it. The key word of this chapter is fate. Xiong Shill criticized fatalism of Zhao Qi according to his cosmology. Xu Fuguan insisted that nature is inner and fate is outer. Mou Zongsan agreed on Zhao Qi＇s opinion and objected to Xiong and Xu. Tang Junyi thought of the meaning of Fate is just fate. The four man＇s idea to it formed a progress of Negation, and the idea of Tang Junyi is the best.
