罗近溪“赤子之心”思想发微

On Luo Jinxi’s Thought of Pure Sincerity

作为泰州学派代表人物之一,罗近溪最具特色的思想就是"赤子之心",并赋予其良知的深刻内涵。他以不学不虑为赤子之心的基本根据,回答孟子的良知良能学说,视不学不虑为一种大学;以生生之仁为赤子之心的发展线索,结合《易传》的"生生"提出赤子之心为最高仁,是一种"完仁";以至善至美为赤子之心指导下修养的最高境界。罗近溪正是通过"赤子之心"连接先秦时期的传统儒学和当世的王学,使王学的发展走上"正路",保证王学的发展与正统儒学能够契合,从而激发了王学在新时期发展的动力。

As one of the representatives of Taizhou school of thought,Luo Jinxi’s most distinctive thought is"pure sincerity",to which Luo has added the profound connotation of conscience.He regards not learning and not thinking as the extreme state of learning,the pure sincerity as the perfect state of benevolence.Luo’s pure sincerity connects the traditional Confucianism of the Pre-Qin Dynasty and Wang Yangming’s theory of mind,which contributes the agreement of Wang’s theory and the orthodox Confucianism and drives the development of Wang’s theory in the new period.
