释《蒙》:知止与化成——从《易·蒙》看先秦儒家的教育思想

历来易家释《蒙》卦，重在阐其“人文化成”的“启蒙”思想，而略其“为学知止”的“敬畏”情怀。《蒙》卦“为学知止”与“人文化成”思想是先秦儒家教育思想不可偏废的两翼，其中蕴藏着求道以诚、审问勤学的为学理念；知险避险、知礼守礼、知天敬天的知止精神；发蒙启蒙、化生化成、警戒祸患的人文思想。《蒙》卦的“知止”思想尤其重要，它包含着先民关于从必然过渡到自由的认识论，规范社会以确立人伦法则的道德论，领悟天道以敬畏神圣的天道论三个层次，是从为学到化成的转折点。先儒阐释《蒙》卦的核心精神，在于说明人如能在自然、伦理、天道层面遵行某种“尺度”，知其所“止”，便能实现其智识的启蒙与自由的创造。
