朱熹与科学:一理开二门——理学对科学的双重意蕴

An Analysis of Zhu Xi and Science:Open Two Doors in One Reason——The Dual Implication of Neo Confucianism to Science

在"以生通仁、以仁统生"的理学路径下,朱熹通过共相贯通的努力,使得其理学思想在理不离气的本体论、格物致知的认识论、天理归仁的价值论上分别证成了"所以然之理"与"所当然之理"的共相,即"一理开二门"。朱熹"一理开二门"之理学思想分别从哲学的本体论、认识论、价值论三个角度呈现出对科学发展的双重意蕴:一方面体现在对中国近代科学发展既孕育又遏制的矛盾现象,另一方面体现在对现代科学跨学科综合发展的启迪意义。

Under the Neo Confucian path of “life leads to benevolence and benevolence dominates life”, Zhu Xi identified “universals of reason” as “virtues of reason” through the efforts of interaction, on the basis of his theory of Neo Confucianism in terms of ontology,epistemology and axiology, which was named “two doors in one reason”.Zhu Xi's “one reason open two doors” theory of Neo Confucianism presented the dual implication to scientific development respectively from three angles, namely, ontology, epistemology and axiology: on the one hand, it is manifested by the contradictory phenomena that the development of modern natural sciences in China had been both nurtured and curbed, and on the other hand, it is reflected by the enlightening significance to the comprehensive interdisciplinary development of modern sciences.
