胡寅《崇正辩》论

理学虽以批判佛教为动因,但理学自身的建构不仅使批佛弱化,且呈现出儒佛混为一谈的现象,因此胡寅《崇正辩》实是南宋初期理学家批判佛教的重要著作。胡寅对佛教的批判,虽从清理佛教外在形式入手,但实际上却贯彻着他在根本理论问题上的立场与见解。胡寅揭示了因果报应的功利性本质,强调了儒家道德思想的自主性原则;同时他将善恶祸福无常对应的问题从道德哲学的论域中清除了出去,阐述了湖湘学派由实在性自然引申出价值体系的理论,并最终落实在儒佛心法上的比较,彰显出儒与佛的真实性与虚妄性。胡寅在批判佛教中所阐发的思想,对于后来朱熹的思想建构很有影响。

On Hu Yin's Works

The criticism of Buddhism is a major theme in neo\|Confucianism. However, the construction of neo\|Confucianism weakens the force of this criticism and confuses Confucianism with Buddhism. \!Chong Zheng Bian", a classic by Hu Yin in the Southern Song Dynasty, is an important neo\|Confucian work on the criticism of Buddhism. Although he criticized Buddhism from the perspective of external form, Hu had in effect taken a position he often adopted on the fundamental theoretical issues. Hu's views expressed from the criticism of Buddhism had exerted a tremendous influence on the formation of Zhu Xi's thought.
