论墨学的圣俗二重性

On the Dualism of Sacredness and Secularity of Mohism

中华传统文化是否存在纯粹的宗教,学界向来聚讼不已。墨学表述了天与鬼的宗教省思,蕴涵着丰富的神道设教思想。相较于先秦其他诸子学说,墨学因拥有天志、明鬼等神圣观念而表现得更为富于宗教性。不过其哲学观念又倡导天人二分,实践强为、力行的人文主义精神。这使得墨学具有圣俗二重性的特质,其主旨在于在超验的神圣世界中建立天志统治的合法性,在现实的世俗生活中建成利益均分的美好社会。

Whether traditional Chinese culture contains pure religion has always been disputed. Compared with other thinkers, Mohists seem to be more religious with sacred ideas like the Will of Heaven and the Existence of Ghosts. However, Mohism advocates the division between man and Heaven and practices the humanistic spirit of vigorous action. Mohists aim to establish the legitimacy of the Heaven＇s kingdom in the secular world and a better society of shared interests in the divine world.
