儒家道统说再探

Re-exploration of Confucian Orthodoxy

儒学史上存在“即道言统”与“即统言道”两种道统观,实际上,言道统只能“即道言统”,而不能“即统言道”。道统的核心是仁义,儒家的仁义存在“居仁由义”与“处仁以义”的不同进路,前者是由仁而义,后者是由义而仁。作为道统的仁义应是“居仁由义”与“处仁以义”的统一,孔子、曾子、子思、孟子的道统谱系不足以代表儒学发展的全貌,传统的四书存在明显的欠缺。因此,以新道统为纲领,以新四书为基本经典,成为统合孟荀及儒学创新的关键。

In the history of Confucianism,there are two views of Orthodoxy,i.e.,understanding history in terms of the orthodox and understanding the orthodox in terms of history.In fact,one can only understand history in terms of the orthodox but hardly understand the orthodox in terms of history.The core of Confucian orthodoxy is benevolence and righteousness,and there are two approaches to Confucian benevolence and righteousness:one being from benevolence to righteousneSvS and the other being from righteousness to benevolence.The benevolence and righteousness of Confucian orthodoxy should be a unification of the two approaches.The orthodoxy of Confucius,Zencius,Zisi and Mencius cannot represent the whole development of Confucianism,and there are obvious shortcomings in the traditional Four Classics.Therefore,taking the new orthodoxy as a guideline and the New Four Classics as the basic classics have become the key to unifying Mencius and Xucius,and the innovation of kindness.
