康有为论墨学与西学的关系

Kang Youwei Sorted Out The Relationship Between Mohism and Western Learning

作为较早对墨学进行诠释的近代哲学家,康有为对墨学的阐发是多维的,其中,与西学的关系是他研究墨学的一个重要维度。在对墨子以及墨子后学的思想与西学、墨教与耶教的反复比较中,康有为极力彰显彼此之间的相近、相似乃至绝似。一方面,肯定国学与西学相合是康有为的一贯主张,不唯墨子和墨学,孔子和孔学以及老学等在他那里都与西学互释,并被认定为相合;另一方面,康有为对各家与西学相合内容的具体认定各不相同,对墨学与西学关系的认定不可与他对孔学与西学关系的认定同日而语,并且流露出康有为对待墨学的矛盾心理。
