叶适事功思想中政治治理与道德教化的关系

The Relationship between Political Governance and Moral Education in Ye Shi’s Utilitarianism Thought

为了实现政治治理与道德教化的“内外交相成之道”,叶适提出了不同于理学的道德教育理论。阐明这一道德教育理论与事功学派的政治治理理念之间的关系对于研究叶适事功思想有重要意义。通过与理学进行对比研究,在理论源流、方法论和发用三个层面梳理了叶适事功思想中政治治理与道德教化的关系,揭示了叶适事功思想所主张政治善治的理论本质及方法:以义为本,利、义交互;以王道为本,王道和功利交互。这一理论资源对实现我国的政治善治依然具有重要参考价值。

In order to realize the“Internal Cause and External Cause”of political governance and moral education,YE Shi put forward the theory of moral education which was different from Neo-Confucianism.Clarifying the relationship between this moral education theory and the political governance concept of the Utilitarianism School is of great significance to the study of Ye Shi’s Utilitarianism thought.Through comparative research with Neo-Confucianism,this paper has sorted out the relationship between political governance and moral education in Ye Shi’s Utilitarianism thought at three levels of theoretical origin,methodology and application,revealing the theoretical essence and method of good political governance advocated by Ye Shi’s Utilitarianism thought,namely,righteousness is the foundation,and profit and righteousness interact;kingship is the foundation,and kingship and utilitarianism interact.This theoretical resource still has significant reference value for realizing good political governance in our country.
