从“和”的角度重新审视王充的思想史意义

Re-examining the Significance of Wang Chong in the Ideological History from the Perspective of “Harmony”

自章太炎、胡适等人给予极高的肯定性评价之后,在近代以来有关中国传统的诠释中,无论是哲学史、思想史还是文学史,王充似乎都成为一个绕不开的符号,王充在思想史领域获得了极高的地位,尤其是在浙江思想史领域,王充更是被视为浙学的开创者,被视为浙江学术思想开端。本文通过对"和"的观念的梳理,认为王充对于中国思想的核心范畴"和"的讨论,从整个中国思想史的发展脉络来说,基本上还是在汉代气化宇宙论的立场上展开的,并没有突破。因此,称王充为两汉魏晋思想的转折性人物,是不够妥当的。王充并没有像诠释的那样突出,他的视阈和理念并没有超出汉代思想史的范围。

Since Zhang Taiyan and Hu Shi hold a very high opinion of Wang Chong’s ideology, no matter in the History of Philosophy,Thoughts or Literature,it seems that Wang Chong had become a symbol which can’t be avoided on the interpretation of Chinese traditional culture in modern times. In the field of intellectual history, Wang Chong got a very high status. Especially in the intellectual history of Zhejiang, he was regarded as the beginning of Zhejiang learning(浙学). By carding the concept of "harmony" in Wang Chong’s thoughts, this article claims that judging from the entire development course of Chinese intellectual history, Wang Chong’s opinion about "harmony" which was a core category in Chinese philosophy, expanded on the basis of gasifying cosmology, without any breakthrough. Therefore,it is inappropriate to regard Wang Chong as a transitional character in the thought of Han Dynasty and the Wei-Jin. In fact, Wang Chong was not as outstanding as he was interpreted. His horizon and ideas had never broken through the intellectual history of Han Dynasty.
