贺麟“新心学”认识论述略——以“自然的知行合一观”为中心

Review of He Lin's Epistemology of New Idealism——Focus on “the Theory of Natural Unity of Knowledge and Practice”

贺麟"新心学"认识论的"自然的知行合一观",是从知行的概念、"合一"的意义、知行的关系、知行的难易等几个方面进行论述和展开的,包括四个基本命题(或结论)——"知行同是活动"、"知行永远合一"、"知主行从"、"知难行易"。"自然的知行合一观"与任何一种价值合一观都不冲突、不矛盾,为中国传统哲学的知行关系理论奠定了认识论的学理基础。

He Lin expounded his epistemology from such aspects as the concept of knowledge and practice,the meaning of unity,the relationship between knowledge and practice,and the difficulty and easiness of knowledge and practice.His theory consists of four basic propositions(or conclusions)that"knowledge and practice are both activities",that"knowledge and practice are always one",that"knowledge is primary and practice is secondary"and that"it is easy to know and difficult to practice".There is no conflict or contradiction between the theory of"the unity of knowledge and practice"and any kind of theory of value unity.It lays the theoretical foundation of epistemology for the theory of the relationship between knowledge and practice in traditional Chinese philosophy.
