刘智的理气论

Liu Zhi's Thoughts on Li and Qi

清代思想家刘智学通四教,以儒者的担当意识和穆斯林学者的责任意识主动承担了伊斯兰教和儒家思想的沟通工作。他借用大量儒家哲学尤其是宋明理学的范畴和概念来诠释伊斯兰教教义,"理气"就是其中很典型的概念,但刘智的理气论与儒家的理气论并不完全相同,而是带有浓厚的伊斯兰哲学色彩。近年,学界对刘智的心性论给予了相对多的讨论,而对其理气论关注不多,文章即以此为主题研讨,有利于增进伊斯兰教本土化探究以及伊儒文化对话。

With a sense of responsibility of a Confucian and Muslim scholar,the Qing Dynasty thinker Liu Zhi,who had a thorough knowledge of Confucianism,Buddhism,Taoism and Islam,dedicated himself to the communication between Islam and Confucianism.He interpreted Islamic doctrines by borrowing a great number of categories and concepts from Confucianism especially Neo Confucianism,among which Li and Qi are typical ones.Not completely the same as the Confucian concepts,Liu Zhi’s thoughts on Li and Qi,however,have the characteristics of Islam.In recent years,the academic world has focused more on Liu Zhi’s thoughts on the nature of mind but conducted few studies on his thoughts on Li and Qi.Therefore,the study of the latter in this paper will promote the studies on the localization of Islam and the dialogue between Islam and Confucianism.
