王阳明为什么会研究哲学(儒学)?——从寻找自我正体性的新实学观点出发

Why Did Wang Yangming Philosophize?——To Find Self-Identity from the Perspective of New Realist School

围绕王阳明20年的彷徨期和入门儒学的过程展开讨论,指出当时的主流儒学对王阳明的儒学入门不仅没有起到积极的作用,反而妨碍着他一心向儒。最终他是在创立了新的儒学正体性之后方才得以进入儒学门下,彷徨岁月这才得以终结。立足于王阳明突破主流儒学界限、在儒学中寻求自我正体性的新实学的观点,并以知行为侧重点进行论述。同时,王阳明思想中的知行问题不是单纯局限在概念定义与知行关系究明的问题上,更是他历经漫长岁月的彷徨后终其一生试图创立新的儒学和克服社会危机的关键所在。

Focusing on the 20-year confusion period of Wang Yangming and the preliminary process of learning Confucianism,this paper points out that the mainstream Confucianism at that time did not played a positive role in Wang Yangming learning Confucianism,but hindered him from entering the field of Confucianism.In the end,he was able to enter the Confucianism after he founded the new Confucianism,signaling the end of its confusion years.This paper is based on Wang Yangming’s breakthrough of the mainstream Confucianism and the pursuit of self-conformity in Confucianism analyzes the learning and doing.At the same time,the problem of learning and doing in Wang Yangming’s thought is not limited to the problem of the definition of concept and the relationship between learning and doing,but also the key for his attempt to create new Confucianism and overcome social crisis after a long period of time.
