江门学派儒学理论体系的科学性原则

The Scientific Principle of the Theory System of Jiangmen School of Confucianism

江门学派有旺盛的生命力,与其儒学理论体系的科学性原则密不可分:其一,以元气论作为儒学理论体系的物质基础,体现了儒学理论体系的唯物主义原则。其二,始终坚持以道体来阐发心体的治学路径,以道体中正、自然的特征阐发心体中正、自然的本质,避免了对心体阐发的主观随意性。其三,注重体认、体证工夫的均衡性,既注重动时察识,又注重静时存养,既重“勿忘”,又重“勿助”,形成了合内外、合动静、合难易的工夫论体系。江门学派儒学理论体系的科学性原则,对于纠正明代中晚期儒学认识论上出现的流禅、狂肆现象,对儒学的健康发展具有重要的作用和意义。

Jiangmen School of Confucianism was of exuberant vitality,which was inseparable from the scientific principle of its theoret-ical system.First,it took the theory of vitality as the material basis of its theoretical system,which embodies the materialistic principle of the Confucian theoretical system.Secondly,it always adhered to the research path of explaining the mind from a noumenal view,and elucidated the essence of mental integrity and being through the characteristics of mental integrity and being,thus avoiding the subjective arbitrariness in explaining the mind.Thirdly,it attached great importance to the balance of enlightenment and experience,paying attention to both dynamic observation and perception and static cultivation and storage,stressing naturalness and spontaneity and forming a work theory system that combined internal and external,dynamic and difficult elements.The scientific principle of Jiangmen School of the Confucian theoretical system played an important role and was of great significance in correcting the phenomenon of fluidness and fanaticness in the Confucianistic epistemology of the middle and late Ming Dynasty and in the healthy development of Confucianism.
