略论北宋“义理之学”的两个取向

北宋新儒学从本质上说是"义理之学",而北宋"义理之学"的发展一开始就表现出两个既有联系又有区别的取向,那就是经世论取向的义理之学和心性、性理取向的义理之学.在北宋时期,经世论取向的义理之学是占主流的.后来,由于政治改革的挫折、儒学经世论方面的学术资源的相对不足、排斥佛道思想的需要等方面的原因,注重心性的义理之学逐渐占据了上风,最终成为占统治地位的思想.

Two Tendencies to the Philosophy of Principle as Order in the Northern Song Dynasty

Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty in essence referred to the philosophy of principle as order which fell into two connective but different tendencies, that is, one towards the theory of managing state affairs and the other towards human mind and nature, and human nature and principle. During this historical period, the former belonged to the mainstream of social ideology. Then the latter became a dominant ideology due to the setback in political reform, the shortage of academic resources in the Confucian theory of managing state affairs and the need of rejecting Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, it is of great significance for us to distinguish the interrelations between two tendencies, so as to deepen our comprehension of the substantive characteristics of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty.
