朱熹改革思想浅论

Tentative Reviews of Zhuxi's Thought of Reformation

就封建社会自身的更新而言 ,朱熹是深表拥护的 ,他对宋代政治上的因循守旧之风作了尖锐的批评 ,对南宋社会制度的诸多方面提出了改革方案。但朱熹强调“正人心”、“循天理” ,虽然对于北宋改革路线具有纠偏之功 ,对于批判专制暴政 ,腐败社会风气有深刻的意义。但由于片面强调道德心性的力量 ,其改革思想也不可避免地陷入了唯心主义的泥沼。

Zhu Xi was totally supportive to the reform of the feudalist society. He was critical of political conservatism prevalent in the Song Dynasty. And he put forward reform bills which touched upon many facets of the social systems of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was admitted that Zhu Xi's thought was constructive in rectifying the reform line of the Northern Song and in battling the tyranny and corruption. Notwithstanding this, Zhu Xi laid lopsided emphasis on “integrity' and “following Providence', and inevitably, his reform thought was eventually plunged into marsh of idealism.
