张载与此岸性认定

Zhang Zai and the determination of this sidedness

张载率先改变儒释道三教并用格局,告别宗教时代,推进中国哲学史进程,揭开宋明理学新篇章。他站在儒家立场上回应佛教,创立气本体论,证明此岸世界的唯一性和真实性,重申一元世界观,迈出了宋明理学思潮的第一步。他提出的太虚即气说和天人合一说有新意也有局限。由于气在价值上中立,限制张载的视野,难以对儒家伦理提供本体论担保,不得不让位于天理本体论。

Zhang Zai took the lead in deconstructing the integrated pattern of Confucianism,Buddhism,and Taoism.While bidding farewell to the religious era,this change also promotes the historical progress of Chinese philosophy and opens a new chapter in Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties.In response to Buddhism from the perspective of Confucianism,he establishes the ontology of qi,which proves the uniqueness and authenticity in the world of this sidedness,reaffirms the monistic worldview,and takes the first step for the thoughts of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties.His theories of taixu or the great void as qi and the unity of heaven and man have both new ideas and limitations.The neutrality of qi in value limits Zhang Zai's horizon,which makes it difficult to provide the ontological guarantees for Confucian ethics,and eventually gives way to the ontology of natural law.
