知情意:王阳明良知论的三个面向

“Cognition,Affection and Conation”: Three Dimensions of Wang Yangming's Conscience Thought

王阳明的良知概念是"知孝知弟""知爱知敬""知是知非"("知")、"好善恶恶"("意")与"真诚恻怛"("情")三位一体之概念;在良知所指点的本心全体之中,真诚恻怛是奠基性的,本心在根本上乃是浑然与物同体之感通、感应的觉情与能力;以"是非之心"指点本心乃是王阳明基于修身工夫之考量,点出一"知"字,工夫始有下落处、入手处。

Wang Yangming＇ s concept of conscience refers to ＂knowing filial piety and knowing the fraternity＂, ＂knowing love and knowing respect＂, ＂knowing the right and knowing the wrong＂ （cognition） , ＂loving goodness and hating badness＂ （conation）, and ＂being honest and compassionate＂ （affection）. These three dimensions are Trinitarian. ＂Being honest and compassionate＂ is in the center and as the core of conscience, and basically, conscience should be consistent with the things in perception, and affection. Using the idea of ＂knowing the right and the wrong＂ to guide the gain of conscience is Wang Yangming＇ s consideration for cultivating one＇ s moral character. To achieve this goal, ＂knowing＂ can have its objects.
