中国古代法象思维研究——兼论法象思维、体用论与理一分殊的相互关系

Study on theMode of Thinking of Fa and Xiang in Ancient China——On the Interrelation ofthe Mode of Thinking of Fa and Xiang, the Theory of Ti and yong and “li yi feng shu”

追寻真理的思维方式是逻辑学诸原则,而明悟道的思维方式则是法象思维。法象思维中的"法"与"象"最主要的含义是"效法",这个"效法"既可以是形象的效法,也可以是概念的抽象系统之间的效法。法象思维强调的是关系,而非实体。法象思维、体用论和理一分殊虽然有着历史的进化过程,但是我们并不能认为后者可以完全取代前者,我们会发现,这三种一脉相承的思维方式是支撑起整个中国古代思想的一个意义系列。

The mode of thinking in pursuit of truth is the principles of logic,while the mode of thinking in understanding Tao is the mode of thinking of fa and xiang.The main meaning of"fa"and"xiang"in the mode of thinking of fa and xiang is"imitation".This"imitation"can be either the"imitation"of image or the"imitation"between abstract systems of concepts.the mode of thinking of fa and xiang emphasizes relationship,not entity.Although there is a historical evolutionary process in the mode of thinking of fa and xiang,the theory of ti and yong,li yi feng shu,we can not think that the latter can completely replace the former.We will find that these three successive mode of thinking are a series of meanings.
