本源视域中的孔子天命观再考察

A Study of Confucius’View of Destiny from the Origin

传统思想观念对孔子天命观的诸多理解仍属于形上学的把握,它们遮蔽了孔子思想的本源性视域。而孔子的“天命”思想接续着“天”“命”这样的符号诞生之初那种原初体验;“知天命”与“畏天命”亦是本源性的情感表达,这是孔子思想的博大之处。我们应回到那种原初体验,重新开启对孔子“天命”思想的领悟。

Many understandings of Confucius’view of destiny by traditional ideas still belong to metaphysics,which obscure the origin of Confucius’thought.Confucius’thought of“destiny”continued the original experience at the beginning of the birth of such symbols as“heaven”and“destiny”,and“knowing destiny”and“fearing destiny”were also original emotional expressions.This is the broadness of Confucius’thought.Therefore,one should return to the original experience and re-open the understanding of Confucius’thought of“destiny”.
