陈白沙的家风与学风

Chen Baisha’s Family Style and Study Style

陈白沙及江门学派具有良好的家风与学风。孝、义及工夫论上笃实的体证构成了陈白沙家风、学风的核心内容。陈白沙以“敬”作为孝的核心内涵,主张对父母及长辈的孝顺要尽心而适可,强调“善养”重于“禄养”。在为人处世方面,陈白沙主张以“义”为先,重义而轻利。在工夫论方面,陈白沙注重笃实的体证,并形成了自得之学。陈白沙笃实的家风、学风是江门学派旺盛生命力的保障,江门学派经由陈白沙、湛若水、唐枢、许孚远、刘宗周、黄宗羲依次传承,在阳明后学陷入空疏之学的窘境时,黄宗羲在江门学派中正、自然的理念的基础上提出了反君主专制的民主思想萌芽,将儒学的发展推向高峰。
