一种新伦理观的张扬:戴震的理欲统一论

The Advocacy of a New Ethic Outlook: Dai Zhen's Theory of the Unity of Justice and Desire

作为一名思想家 ,戴震在批判、借鉴、总结前人思想的基础上 ,提出了一种新的伦理价值观。戴震赋予天理、人欲不同于程朱理学的新内涵 ,认为天理就存在于人欲之中 ,并从自然与必然的层面 ,进一步深化了其理欲思想。戴震的新伦理观是通过对程朱理学主张的“存天理 ,灭人欲”的无情批判而得以阐释的 ,它一方面表现了戴震新伦理观的进步倾向 ,另一方面也显示了戴震新伦理观的现实价值和启蒙意义。

As a thinker, Dai Zhen puts forward a new ethic outlook on the basis of criticizing, referring to and summarizing the predecessors' thoughts. Dai Zhen claims that justice exists in man's desire and thus endows a new connotation to justice and desire, which is different with that of Neo Confucianism. He even further develops his views of justified desire from the perspectives of nature and necessity. Dai Zhen's new ethic outlook gets expounded through relentlessly criticizing the justice over desire view advocated by Neo Confucianism. The criticism not only represents the progressive tendency of Dai Zhen's outlook, but also reveals its realistic value and significance of enlightenment.
