朱熹知识论建构的社会背景探析

Social Background of the Construction of Zhu Xi’s Theory of Knowledge

作为一位儒者,朱熹有着平治天下的志向,他对当时的社会问题有着清醒认识。朱熹知识论的建构,基于其总结唐末五代道德危机教训以期重构道德理想主义,以及他对科技发展的理论呼应等背景。这既体现了朱熹重振儒家伦理纲常的社会担待,也反映出他对社会科技发展的敏锐洞察。

As a scholar, Zhu Xi has an ideal of a peaceful ruling of the world and a profound perception of the social problems. The construction of Zhu Xi’s theory of knowledge is based on the background of his summarizing the lessons of moral crisis in the Late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties in order to reconstruct moral idealism, and his theoretical echo to the development of science and technology. This not only reflects his social commitment to revitalize Confucian ethics, but also reflects his keen insight into the development of social science and technology.
