陈淳哲学知行论研究

知行问题是理学尤其是朱子学研究的重要课题之一,讨论的问题涉及知行关系、致知与涵养、致知与主敬等方面。作为朱子重要门人和传人的陈淳,在知行关系上继承和发扬了朱熹“知行相须”的观点,提出了致知力行“随时更迭,交进互发”的思想,而对“知先行后”论有所修正,同时,对“行重于知”则以“以行为主,知行一事”作了新的概括和拓展。在主体修养上,陈淳把主敬仍看作是与致知力行相始终的修养的重要内容。陈淳还对凸现儒学工夫与境界的“下学上达”作出了新的探索。

On the Concept of Knowledge and Action in the Philosophy of CHEN Chun

The problem of knowledge and action had been a very important aspect of the Confucian school of idealist philosophy in the Song and Ming dynasties, especially for the philosophy of ZHU Xi, a key figure in Confucian thought. Chen Chun, as an important disciple and descendant of the ZHU school, had inherited the ideas of ZHU Xi as far as the relationship between knowledge and action was concerned and proposed that "knowledge and action might change at any time and interact with each other". At the same time, he further developed and expanded ZHU Xi's ideas. He also made other contribution to the Confucian thinking of the time.
