现代人如何读《论语》--兼论《论语》中的生命哲学

How Modern People Read the Analects:On the Philosophy of Life

《论语》的内容看起来很零乱,但实际上有一个核心主题,这就是生命实践之学。孔子是在生命实践上获得圆满成就的一个人,《论语》结构性的思维就是聚合—发散式的思维,通过聚合—发散思维能够把生命实践之学普遍适用于万事万物之中,能够证明先天综合判断是普遍必然放之四海而皆准的真理。孔子说的“性相近”和《中庸》里的“天命之谓性”,实际上都是讲生命的本质。生命进步的阶梯道路与如何处理欲望有关,儒家摆脱生存困境所走的是一条踏实的、行之有效的道路。我们要以心灵来理解《论语》,不要抱有门派之见。

On the surface,the content of the Analects is cluttered.In fact,the book has a constant theme which is the study of the practice of life.Confucius is a person who has achieved full success in life practice.There is a structural mode of thinking which is aggregation-divergence thinking.The theory of life practice can be universally applied to everything,and it can prove that innate comprehensive judgment is the universally necessary truth.Confucius’s idea on the similar nature and the destiny of nature in“The Doctrine of the Mean”actually mean the same thing.They both talk about the essence of life.The ladder path of life progress is related to how to deal with desires.What Confucianism has taken to get rid of the predicament of existence is a very practical and effective path.We must understand the classical text with our hearts,and don’t have sectarian opinions.
