卜筮与《周易》

Divination and Zhouyi

《周易》包括古经与《易传》两个有机组成部分。古经为一诞生于西周时期的卜筮之书,但却内蕴着"人的发现"的时代主题。《易传》则对卜筮进行了创造性的哲学转化,充分揭示了人在天地人物相融为一的整个世界中的主体性地位,令古经"人的发现"的意蕴,得到了空前的最高哲学层面上的丰富、深化与升华,即此而确立起易学天人之学的哲学品格。其中也透显出宗教巫术的非理性信仰向理性的转化过程。

Zhouyi is organically composed of the Text and Commentaries. Though the Text is a diving book coming into being in the Western Zhou dynasty, it conceives the theme of the time of the discovery of human. The Commentaries, Yi Zhuan, creatively and philosophically transformed the divining nature in the Text, exposing as far as possible the subjective position of human in the whole world uniting heaven, earth, and human. And thus extraordinarily enriched, deepened and distilled the connotations of the discovery of human in the Text in the highest level of philosophy, and hence founded the philosophical nature of the correlation between the heaven and human in the Yi-ology. The transformation from the irrational belief of religious sorcery to rationality was also realized.
