孟子“浩然之气”说再考论

On Mencius' righteousness

“浩然之气”在中哲史研究中常常被作为神秘主义的范畴而未得到深究。本文给予厘定与解释 :《管子》的精气说是孟子“浩然之气”范畴的历史来源。孟子予精气说以人文主义的内涵 ,从而使这一朴素的唯物主义本体学说成为孟子沟通天人 ,打通本体与伦理。

Righteousness is usually considered as a category of mystery in Chinese history of philosophy. Yet this paper is intended to redefine righteousness for a better understanding. It is assumed that the righteousness principle of Mencius derives from the spiritual doctrine as historical resource. Mencius bases his assumption upon humanism so as to enable this materialistic ontology to be well-known as a philosophical conception joining ontology versus ethic, and nature versus morality.
