回归生活世界的价值诉求——儒学变迁史略说

Value Propositions of Returning to the Real World: An Overview of the Historical Changes of Confucianism

本文以简略的方式描述了儒学变迁的逻辑进程:孔子立足于“原事”“原情”“原人”引申出价值理想;战国时期,“原人”的蜕变而有形上学的建立;汉唐宇宙论把价值追求往天地宇宙挂搭固使人有所归依亦不免颇受支使;宋明本体论赋予理以普遍绝对意义使人价值提升有所凭借更难免为其异化;降及泰州学,通过消解形上形下的分立,祈求返回“原本”,得以开启了回归“在一起”的生活世界的先河。

This article describes the logical processes of the historical changes of Confucianism: the valueideal of Confucius initially derived from the ideas of Yuan Shi(原事), Yuan Qing(原情) and Yuan Ren(原人). During the Warring States period, the Confucian metaphysics was established following the changingconcept of Yuan Ren. In the Han and Tang dynasties, the Confucian cosmology correlated the value pursuitwith the whole universe, which made humankind find a refuge but inevitably be dominated. In the Songand Ming dynasties, the Confucian ontology gave Li(礼) a universal meaning, which not only promoted thevalues of human, but also inevitably alienated them. The Taizhou School eliminated the opposition betweenmetaphysics and physics, and attached new importance to "Yuan Ben"(原本), which led to the returning tothe living world that shared by all.
