从“仁学”研究到“仁学哲学”创作——近30年汉语“仁学”研究趋势述评

From Research on"Study of Benevolence"to Creation of“Philosophy of Benevolence”:A Review on Trends in Chinese Research on“Study of Benevolence”in the last 30 Years

近30年中国大陆汉语学界“仁学”成果极其丰富,有体系性的作者可以三家为代表:唐力权从“场有哲学”的形上学出发,对儒家“仁”的结构和“仁”内部蕴舍的矛盾做出了深刻的阐述,倡导“仁材并建”的人性论,以期为儒家式的民主、科学提供思想的出路;牟钟鉴在回顾仁学思想发展脉络的基础上建立起新仁学思想体系,为当代各领域的具体问题提供儒家式的解决思路;陈来从中国传统固有的思想资源出发建构仁学本体论,旨在解决当代中国在伦理道德与社会价值观层面出现的诸多问题.诸家的思想出发点虽然不同,然而都试图以仁学为根基,来解决现代社会问题,体现出活化传统思想资源以应对当代社会的学术研究新动向.从哲学创造的角度看,则体现了立足于仁学而从事当代中国哲学创新的思想意图.

The“Study of Benevolence(Renxue)”bloomed in MainlandChinese academia in recent 30 years,which typically embodied by thesystematic works by Tang Liquan,Mou Zhongjian and Chen Lai.Specifically,Tang Liquan elaborated on the structure and the inherent contradiction of‘benevolence(ren)’from the metaphysics of Field-Being philosophy andadvanced the theory of human nature,namely,the theory of“Co-cultivationof Benevolence and Material”,in order to provide the thoughts for thedevelopment of Confucian democracy and science;Mou Zhongjian constructedthe theoretic framework of New Study of Benevolence(New Renxue)basedupon the review on the development of Study of Benevolence,and offered thepossible Confucian solutions to concrete problems inherent in today's variousfields;Chen Lai established the ontology of Benevolence from the Chinesetraditional and inherent philosophical resources,purported to cope with avariety of problems emerged in contemporary Chinese ethics,morality andsocial values.All of them resorted to Study of Benevolence to deal with modernsocial problems,which embodied the new trend in academia to reinvigorate thetraditional philosophical resources to cope with the problems in modernsociety.From the perspective of philosophical creation,all of them endeavoredto blaze a new trail in modern Chinese philosophy relying on the Study of Benevolence.
