传统儒学情理逻辑悖论探究

A paradox about the Qing-Li logic in Confucianism

情理逻辑也就是由情及理的逻辑,它既是情扩充和延伸的逻辑,又是理的生长逻辑。这一逻辑的充分发展导致了情理之间的对立和矛盾,此即是情理逻辑悖论的具体内涵。这一悖论使得传统儒学陷入了理论和实践的双重困境之中。尽管传统儒家为克服这一悖论和走出理论与实践的困境作出了自觉的努力,但由于它是传统儒家伦理文化的本质使然,所以,这种努力最终归于失败,而这也就决定了情理圆融的境界只能成为传统儒家永远无法实现的理想境界。

Qing-Li logic embodies the contradiction between Qing(情,sensibility)and Li(理,sense),which lands Confucianism in a predicament in both theory and practice.Though Confucians endeavored to solve it,their effort was doomed to fail because it resulted from the essential characteristics of Confucian ethics.Therefore,a fusion of Qing and Li will be forever an ideal impossible to reach.
