淮南三王良知思想之比较

Comparison on Conscience Thoughts of “Three Wangs in Huainan Area”

泰州学派在继承王阳明良知说的基础上,从自然角度对良知问题进行了新的认识和阐述,并在不少方面突破了王阳明道德良知的杵臼,颇具理论创新的成分。当然,在具体认识上,"淮南三王"的观点也有差异。王艮从自然角度论述了良知的自然、完美与不须人为。王栋十分赞赏王阳明的良知说,但同时又对王阳明的一些观点进行了否定、补充与辩解。王襞突出良知对人的主宰作用,既继承了王阳明的思想,又接受了王艮的思想。所以,王襞综合了王阳明、王艮的思想,其良知思想具有独特性。

Based on inheriting the conscience thought of Wang Yangming, the scholars of ＂Taizhou School＂ made a novel explanation on the conscience problem from the perspective of nature, which broke through the restriction of Wang Yangming＇s conscience thought to some ex- tent. Certainly, the thoughts of ＂ Three Wangs in Huainan Area＂ also varied from each other. Wang Gen illustrated the nature and perfec- tion of conscience from the perspective of environment, while Wang Dong agreed on Wang Yangming＇s thought on conscience mostly, but al- so made some suplenmentary and explanation. Wang Bi focused on the dominating function of conscience to human beings, which was a u- nique ideology both inheriting Wang Yangming＇s thought and accepting Wang Gen＇s thought.
