王阳明心学之思——以《大学》为之方法

Thoughts on Wang Yangming’s Philosophy of Mind——Taking The Great Learning as the Way

《大学》作为成圣的方法,在宋明时期具有极为重要的地位。王阳明早年实践朱熹的“格物”方法,不得其解,之后坚定了儒学的立场,主张“仁者浑然与天地万物同体”,却无具体方法。在“龙场悟道”之后,王阳明开启了回归自我身心的学术路向,因朱子学者的困扰,故主张以“诚意”解读《大学》,刊刻《大学》古本。他提出“致良知”,一方面强调“良知”乃人人皆有,另一方面又强调“事上磨炼”,实则是“仁者万物一体”与“格物”在现实世界的统一。

In the Song and Ming Dynasties,The Great Learning was very important as a way of sanctification.Wang Yangming practiced Zhu Xi’s method of“the investigation of things”in his early years,but could not understand it.Then he firmly held the Confucian position,advocating that“regarding all things as one body”,but there was no specific method.After“realizing the truth or philosophic theory in Longchang”,he opened up the academic direction of returning to self-body and mind,and advocated interpreting The Great Learning with“sincerity”,because Zhu Zi scholars’troubles have led to the publication of the ancient edition of The Great Learning.He put forward the idea of“the extension of innate knowledge”.On the one hand,it emphasized that“conscience”belonged to everyone,and on the other hand,it emphasized“concrete practice”.In fact,it is a unification of“regarding all things as one body”and“the investigation of things”in the real world.
