试析夏侯玄对魏晋玄学的贡献

Analysis of XiaHou Xuan′s contribution to Metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties

后世学者在介绍"正始玄风"时,往往将焦点集中在何晏、王弼二人身上,而忽略了夏侯玄在其中发挥的重要作用。但是当从较为宽泛的视角来重新审视史籍中有关夏侯玄的思想资料时,能够清晰地感受到他对于正始玄学乃至整个魏晋玄学所做出的不容忽视的重要贡献。夏侯玄是一位完整意义上的魏晋玄学家:他亲身参与并领导的"浮华交会"为魏晋玄学的正式发生奠定了基础,可以被视作正始之音的序曲;他提出"天地以自然运,圣人以自然用",主张"道本自然",直接影响了何晏和王弼的"贵无论"的形成;他肃穆、典雅、从容、高洁的名士风度,同样应被视作是魏晋玄学内在的宝贵资源。

The scholars of later generations often focused on He Yan and Wang Bi when introducing"Zhengshi Xuanfeng"while ignoring the critical role of Xiahou Xuan.However,when we re-examine the materials about Xiahou Xuan in historical books from a broader perspective,we can recognize his essential contribution to Zhengshi Metaphysics and the entire Metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties.Xiahou Xuan was a metaphysicist in Wei and Jin Dynasties."Fuhua Jiaohui"that he led had laid the foundation for the official occurrence of Metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties,which can be regarded as an overture to"the Voice of Zhengshi".He proposed that"Heaven and earth operate because of naturalness,sages work because of naturalness"and"Dao is naturalness",which directly influenced the formation of He Yan and Wang Bi's"primacy of absence"view.Moreover,Xiahou Xuan′s solemnity,elegance,calmness,and noble demeanor are valuable resources in Metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties.
