郭象论“有”及其“自生”与“独化”——在传统时间观视域下的一个探究

Guo Xiang’s Theory of “Being” and Its “Self-generation” and “Self-transformation”:A Study under the Visual Field of Traditional Time View

"有""自生""独化"是郭象哲学的核心性范畴。在《庄子注》中,"独化"的主体不仅仅是个体物,也可以是个体物的各个组成部分,甚至可以是个体物的每一个瞬点式存在。个体物的"独化"建立在气化的基础之上,"气(元气)"自身也可以成为"独化"的主体。郭象的时间观具有传统性和古典性特征,构成其"有物"之"独化"论思想展开的一个基本理论背景。在时间视域下,无论个体物(及其部分与瞬点式存在)的"独化",或是万物总体性的"一气"之流变,都将能够得到更为深入的揭示。

Being, self-generation and self-transformation are the core categories of Guo Xiang’s philosophy. In his Annotation of Zhuang Zi, the subject of self-transformation is not only individual objects, but alsocomponents of them, or even each instantaneous points. The self-transformation of individual things is based on the movement of the primordial matter, and the primordial matter itself can also become the main subject of self-transformation. Guo Xiang’s view of time has the characteristics of tradition and classicality, which constitutes a basic theoretical background for the development of his theory of self-transformation. From the perspective of time, not only the process of the self-transformation of individual objects(and their parts and instantaneous points) but also the course of constantly changing of all things will be revealed more deeply.
