《人谱》与儒家道德伦理秩序的建构

发生在明代后期的士大夫的“修身运动”,以其思想与方式(尤其方式)深刻地影响于后世,余风至今未泯。本文以明末大儒刘宗周所撰《人谱》为主要分析对象,考察其时儒家之徒的道德实践,探究他们当此危机时刻与修身有关的思想脉络。作为对流行于其时的袁黄《功过格》的反拨,刘宗周的《人谱》意欲申明儒学的原则,校正道德修炼中追求功利的倾向。有关的思想逻辑,却已非近人所能知。

As a reverse to the popular book Merit and Demerit by Yuan Huang, Hu- man Morality is intended to state the Confucian principles and correct the tendency of seeking utilitarian in cultivating morality.
