论意、象、言的诠释学意蕴

《易传.系辞上》在解经的过程中提出了意、象、言三个概念,并初步论述了三者的关系。这三个概念在魏晋玄学的言意之辩中充分展开。争论中有三个主要观点,即言不尽意论、得意忘言论、言尽意论。这三个论点在中国古典解释思想中有其重要地位,对之从诠释学角度进行分析,在与西方前诠释学和一般诠释学的比较中重新审视意、象、言在理解活动中的地位和作用,对于探讨建立中国诠释学体系不无裨益。

The Hermeneutic Implications of Yi, Xiang and Yan

The three concepts,Yan(word),Xiang(image) and Yi(meaning),first appear in Chapter XICI of the Book of Changes with a brief discussion of their mutual relationships.An important topic of debate in the Wei and Jin metaphysics,the three concepts were reflected in three views,namely,the views that Yan can't explain Yi clearly,that when Yi is conveyed,Yan is unnecessary,and that Yan can explain Yi clearly.These views have significant position in the classical Chinese interpretation theory.It will help contribute to the establishment of Chinese own hermeneutic system if we reconsider the position and role of Yan,Xiang and Yi in the process of understanding from the comparison of Western hermeneutics and general hermeneutics.
