朱谦之“意象”概念探析

An Analysis of the Concept of"Image"of Zhu Qianzhi

朱谦之的唯情论,为宇宙设置了一个体用无二、物我合一的“情”作为本体,“情”是一股不可分割、永不停滞的“真情之流”,是非理性的。但朱谦之要向世人言明这一真相,就不得不使用有区分的理性语言,这就造成了朱谦之唯情论以理性言说非理性的矛盾。为了解决这一矛盾,他提出“意象”这一概念,以其暂时性与中介性的含义提示人们摆脱理性思维的桎梏。“意象”的暂时性与中介性含义,是朱谦之在这一词语近代含义的基础上,化用《周易》中“象”的内涵,引介柏格森的image概念建构出来的。在建构这一概念的过程中,朱谦之还以体验的方式,建构了一套美学理论,并得出“美是意象”的结论。

In his Emotionalism,Zhu Qianzhi set“Emotion”as the noumenon of the universe,which unites object and subject,essence and phenomenon.“Emotion”is an inseparable and never-stagnant“the Fluxion of Emotion”,that it is non-rational.However,in order to tell the truth to the world,Zhu Qianzhi had to use differentiated rational language,which caused the contradiction of his Emotionalism speaking non-rationality by reason.In order to solve this contradiction,he put forward the concept of"image",with its temporary and intermediary meaning,to prompt people to get rid of the shackles of rational thinking.The temporary and intermediary meaning of"image"was constructed by Zhu Qianzhi on the basis of the modern meaning and by applying the connotation of"image"in The Book of Changes and introducing Bergson's concept of image.In the process of constructing this concept,Zhu Qianzhi also constructed an aesthetic theory in the way of experience,and came to the conclusion that"beauty is image".
