王阳明心学视域下的廉政思想

On the Thoughts of Clean Government from the Master Yangming Wang's Theory of Mind

王阳明的"心学"思想产生于明代专制社会信仰危机、道德缺失、人欲泛滥、官场腐败的社会现实,他以"心即理""致良知""知行合一"等思想为拯救社会的良方,形成了其廉政思想的基础,并通过自己"为官治吏"的身体力行实践了廉政建设。王阳明廉政思想的出发点是"亲民",即为官必须按圣贤之道"修己以安百姓";廉政思想的核心是"修心",即"致良知",通过做"去蔽"工夫,去掉私欲,唤起良知,变换气质;廉政思想的原则是"知行合一",以行动来彰显良知,将"知"与"行"统合到良知的世界,实现内圣外王。

The Master Yangming Wangg Theory of Mind came into being in Ming dynasty under the serious social realities such as belief crisis, moral absence, universal decadence of human being and official corruption. To rescue the whole nation, Wang proposed that mind is namely reason, knowledge should agree with practice and people should extend intuitive knowledge. All of the ideas laid foundation for the formation of his thought of clean and honest government and he put it into practice on his own experience of being an officer at court. His thoughts took loving people as the starting point, cultivating moral heart that was the extension of innate knowledge as the core and the concord of knowledge and practice as the principle and finally helped come to the highest realm of ideal personality of internal sacredness and external social participation.
