马一浮论学书信札记

Notes of Ma Yifu’s Letters on Learning

马一浮与熊十力、梁漱溟并称二十世纪新儒家三圣,以论学和论行而言,马一浮最醇。然而,马一浮没有熊十力、梁漱溟那样的专题论著,其学行散见于诗文、经释、会语、答问、语录、书信等等,虽有一贯的思想,却无形式化的体系。体会马一浮思想,最直接而亲切的,莫过于读其书信。根据马一浮致亲戚师友、学生晚辈的书信,采用札记的形式,在品味书信中论述的为学功夫、次第、品节、条目之外,进一步勾勒马一浮切于自身的儒家义理之学,可以深入呈现马一浮思想的发展脉络。

Ma Yifu,XiongShili and Liang Shuming are known as the three saints of the new Confucianism in the 20th Century.In terms of theory and practice,Ma Yifu displays the purest style of the three,while he fails to have his typical monograph like Xiong Shili and Liang Shuming.His learning and practice can be discovered in poetry,classics interpretation,dialogues,answering and questions,quotations,letters and so on.Although he has consistent thoughts of his own,he does not have a systematic framework.The most direct and cordial way of experiencing Ma Yifu s thought is to read his letters.According to Ma Yifu s letters to relatives,teachers and friends,students and younger generation,this paper,in the form of notes and together with the appreciation of his learning art,grades,quality and entries in the elaboration of his letters,further outlines his learning of Confucian argumentation and deeply presents the development of his thoughts.
