阳明后学周汝登有无圆融的无善无恶论

Yangming Scholar Zhou Rudeng’s Theory of No Good and No Evil with Integration of Real and Unreal

阳明后学周汝登倡导有无圆融的无善无恶论。在周汝登与许孚远关于无善无恶说的争论中,周汝登阐发天泉证道“四无”之旨,提出发心性处,善不与恶对待;为此无意之善,乃真为善;无善无恶乃祖述圣门宗旨。无善无恶肯定了超越经验层面善恶的至善,经验层面恶来自习心。周汝登以儒家本体之有,融摄了佛教空无的思想,表现为工夫上、境界上的无。

Zhou Rudeng,a Yangming scholar,advocates the theory of no good and no evil with integration of real and unreal.In the debate between Zhou Rudeng and Xu Fuyuan on the theory of no good and no evil,Zhou Rudeng explained the purpose of Tianquan’s demonstration of the“four nothingness”,and proposed that good did not deal with evil at the beginning,and the unintentional good was real good.And the theory of no good and no evil was the theme of the Confucianism.Zhou Rudeng took the Confucian noumenon as his own,and absorbed the thought of Buddhist nothingness,which is manifested as nothingness in practice and realm.
