“良知”似“天理”

The Similarity between “Conscience” and “Heavenly Reason”

阳明哲学是朱子哲学的必然发展形态,拥有与朱子哲学相同的本体及本体与现象的结构、逻辑结构以及"存天理,灭人欲"成圣目标。阳明哲学的道德本体为"良知本体",其现象之在"是非之心",而"良知"统摄"良知本体"和"是非之心";"良知本体"是纯粹的理则,即"天理";"是非之心"是现象之在及其扩充"致良知"所得到的条理,"所当然"由"良知本体"而得到证明。阳明哲学从本体至现象及现象层之运用形成与朱子相似的逻辑结构:良知本体—是非之心—致良知—所当然。

Wang Yangming’s philosophy is an inevitable successive form Zhu Xi’s philosophy in that they share a lot in terms of noumenon,noumenon-phenomenon structure,logical structure as well as the goal of"preserving heavenly reason and destroying humanly desire".The moral noumenon of Wang Yangming’s philosophy is"conscience noumenon",and its phenomenon lies in the"sense of right and wrong".However,"conscience"has a command over"conscience noumenon"and the"sense of right and wrong"."Conscience noumenon"is pure principle,that is,the"heavenly reason".The"sense of right and wrong"is both the phenomenological existence and what derived from the expanding of the"manifestation of true knowing".The concept of"as it should be"can be proved by"conscience noumenon".Thus,Wang Yangming’s philosophy and Zhu Xi’s philosophy present a similar logical structure in their noumenon,phenomenon and the application of phenomenological layer,that is:conscience noumenon—sense of right and wrong—manifestation of true knowing—as it should be.
