郭象“游外冥内”说辨义

The interpretation of GUO Xiang’s Theory of“You Wai Ming Nei”

郭象的“游外冥内”说包含了如何去调和“方内”与“方外”、“自然”与“名教”、“迹”与“所以迹”关系之丰富创见,以一种理论创新形态为现实问题提供了答案。郭象把方内与方外两种世界性的划分统摄于一种“即方内即方外”的适性处世心态,从而使现实世界的逍遥成为可能;郭象以自然性分的新内涵整合了自然与名教的冲突,提出了“自然即名教”(而非名教即自然)的新观念,从而使遵循真名教也可以是一种任自然的体现;郭象还旗帜鲜明地对名教之治与“弃情逐迹”现象进行了批判,彰显了其政治理想主义的理论倾向。

Guo Xiang’s theory of“You wai ming nei”contains rich ideas on how to reconcile the relationship between“inside”and“outside”,“nature”and“feudal ethics and rites”,“traces”and“therefore traces”.providing an answer to practical problems with a theoretical innovation.Guo Xiang integrated the two worldwide divisions of“inside”and“outside”into a suitable attitude,which made it possible for the real world to be free.Guo Xiang integrated the conflict between nature and feudal ethics and rites with the new connotation of naturalness,and put forward a new concept of“nature is feudal ethics and rites”(but not feudal ethics and rites is nature),which made following the feudal ethics and rites part of following the nature.Guo Xiang also took a clear-cut stand in criticizing the phenomenon of governing with ethics and rites and“abandoning sentiments and pursuing trails”,which showed his theoretical tendency of political idealism.
