The Ming Dynasty Printing and Dissemination of Wang Yangming’s Works in Guizhou:On the 1535 Guiyang Edition of A New Supplementary Edition of Master Wang Yangming’s Writings

After Wang Yangming experienced the revelation of Confucian philosophy at Longchang,he disseminated his heart-mind doctrine by engaging in teaching.A great number of scholars in Guizhou followed him and formed the Qian sub-school of the heartmind philosophy,the earliest of local Yangming sub-schools in the country. roughout the Zhengde and Wanli periods of the Ming dynasty,Yangming scholars and local o cials in favor of the heart-mind philosophy worked in collaboration to collate and print six books of Wang’s works in Guizhou.Among these,A New Supplementary Edition of Master Wang Yangming’s Writings represents the most fruitful e ort by both government o cials(Wang Xing)and local scholars(Chen Wenxue and Ye Wu).As an o print block-carving edition of Wang Yangming’s collections in the early years,it is extremely treasured for its rarity of edition and historical value. e profusion of printing of Wang’s works in Guizhou re ects the wide circulation of his heart-mind doctrines in China’s southwest frontier regions,vividly mirroring the growth of Wang’s philosophy outside cultural centers as well as the complicated history of interactive in uence between Chinese marginal and central cultures.

孙应鳌与非黔籍王门后学——兼述《教秦绪言》

孙应鳌无疑是黔中王门最具代表性人物,其学之形成与其地位之确立,无不与其心受阳明心斋之学于徐樾与罗洪先、汝芳、蒋信、胡直、赵贞吉、耿定向、耿定理等王门后学大师级人物之影响,他们彼此"相切劘、发挥良知、张望眇悟",通过彼此之"参政、巡抚"的政治生涯,以及大量学术上的面晤与神交,共同推动着黔中阳明学在明中后期步入全盛,与此同时,这些史实亦对作为黔中王门大师级人物孙应鳌的思想系统的形成,产生了至关重要的影响。

王畿哲学的本体论与方法论

王畿的学说可在王阳明那里找到其理论的原初形态,但他在本体论的建构之中过度诠释了良知作为本体的固有内涵,同时抽掉了良知作为先天道德本体的规定性,而将其还原为纯粹存在本身。他还消解了致良知作为道德实践系统的开展维度,从而体现了对王阳明学说的过度与片面的诠释。这种诠释虽不无创新之义,但对于王门后学的空疏放诞之弊,未能尽免其咎。
