苏洵的《六经论》与情本论

Su Xun’s On the Six Classics and Theory of Feelings as the Basis

苏氏蜀学以“情本论”为其最显著特征,与程朱理学之“理本论”针锋相对。作为苏氏蜀学始祖的苏洵,从人类原初的感性需求中发现了“情”的价值,并将其上升到形上本体的高度。在以《六经论》为代表的论著中,苏洵以情为本体,以“权变”为方法,充分地阐释了情本论的内涵与价值。苏洵的情本论不仅在当时开创了苏氏蜀学的独特学风,极大地影响了苏轼、苏辙的学术思想,更成为明代阳明心学的先导。直至今天,苏洵的情本论仍具有深刻的现实意义。

Su’s Shu School took theory of feelings as the basis as its most prominent feature,which was diametrically opposed to the“theory based on reason”of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.Su Xun,the ancestor of the Su’s Shu School,discovered the value of“feelings”from the original perceptual needs of human beings,and raised it to the height of metaphysical noumenon.In the treatises represented by On the Six Classics,Su Xun fully explained the connotation and value of theory of feelings as the basis by taking feelings as the ontology and using“contingency”as the method.Su Xun’s theory of feelings as the basis not only created the unique style of study of Su’s Shu School at that time,but also greatly influenced the academic thoughts of Su Shi and Su Zhe,and Su Xun’s academic thoughts became the forerunner of Yangming’s theory of mind in the Ming Dynasty.Even today,Su Xun’s theory of feelings as the basis still has profound practical significance.
