郝敬“辟佛”与其价值

Hao Jing's“Against Buddhism”activity and its value

晚明佛教盛行,甚至危及到了儒家的正统地位。经学家郝敬以弘扬圣学为职志,采取遍注群经的方式,意图以经书为理论基础从事“辟佛”活动。郝敬展开“辟佛”之路径有二:从思想来源上,郝敬指出佛教一些精密论点蹈袭自儒家;从社会效用上,郝敬认为佛教理论空寂无物,违背人伦。郝敬的“辟佛”进路由外而内,分别就前儒的经书阐说方式和修养方式进行了反思,建构了他的经世思想,号召人们重新关注现实生活,这促成了晚明经世运动的勃发。

Buddhism prevailed in the late Ming Dynasty,even endangering the orthodox status of Confucianism.Hao Jing,a Confucian scholar,took spreading forward the Confucianism as his mission,annotated the Confucian Classics and engaged in the activity of“Against Buddhism”.There were two ways for Hao Jing to carry out“Against Buddhism”:from the source of thought,Hao Jing pointed out that some precise arguments of Buddhism follow the Confucianism;from the social utility,Hao Jing thought that Buddhism theory was empty and contrary to human relations.His“Against Buddhism”activity grew from outside to inside and he reflected on the ways of explaining and cultivating Confucian classics,building his thought of Confucian classics.He called on people to pay attention to real life again,which contributed to the prosperity of the movement of managing the world in the late Ming.
