一位孤高的思想家——追悼木下铁矢先生

An Aloof Thinker: In Memory of Tetsuya Kinoshita

木下铁矢是日本当代著名的朱子学研究者,本文挑选了其代表作《朱熹再读》和《朱子学的位置》中的第一章进行介绍与分析。在《镜、光、魂魄》一文中,木下以镜子照物为起点,探讨了朱熹作为"明德"之"心"照物的特殊性,并由此引申出一系列理论问题;在《战斗中的民政官》一文中,木下以历史的眼光考察了宋代民众的生活情况,赋予朱子学的"新民"宗旨以历史意义。我们可以看到,木下不仅具备很高的理论素养和问题意识,对文献以及资料也有极强的把握能力,对历史以及思想文脉也有很深的了解。

Tetsuya Kinoshita is one of the best researchers of the Zhuzi School in contemporary Japan. This paper picks up two representative articles for an introduction to our Chinese readers. In the 'Mirror, Light and Ghosts', Kinoshita takes the phenomenon of reflecting objects in the mirror as the starting point, discusses the mind as a synonym of 'illuminating one's virtue'(mingde) in Zhuxi's eyes, and extends his analysis to a series of problems. In the 'The Scholar-bureaucrat in Battle', he examines people's living situation in the Song dynasty, giving historical significance to Zhuzi School's dominant idea of 'renewing people'(xinmin). In sum, Kinoshita not only has a high theoretical proficiency and problem consciousness, but also is able to handle well various texts and documents. Furthermore, he has a deep understanding of the historical and philosophical context.
