李荣与李翱的性情论比较研究

A Comparative Study of Temperament Theory Between Li Rong and Li Ao

道教李荣将性情关系与道相结合,提出恢复本性。儒家李翱提出了"复性说"。二人皆认为人之本性自然,遵循本性即可得道,而性动生情,情动损性,修道需去情复性。不同之外在于李翱赋予道一种伦理意义,视人性为纯善,而李荣主张道法自然,人性自然。这两种思想都在唐代性情思想史上占据一席之地。将二人思想进行比较,有利于把握唐代性情论中性情二分的基本模式的发展脉络。

Taoist Li Rong combined the relationship of nature and emotion with Taoism and then proposed to restore the nature. Confucian Li Ao put forward the idea of "restore the nature". Both of them believed that the human nature is natural, and one can attain the Tao by following the nature. The differences lay in that Li Ao endowed Tao with an ethical meaning and regarded the human nature as the pure goodness, while Li Rong advocated that the Tao should obey nature and the human nature is natural. Both of these thoughts occupied a place in the ideological history of disposition in the Tang Dynasty. It is useful to grasp the development of the basic mode of dichotomy of disposition within the theory of disposition in the Tang Dynasty.
