《周易》时间问题的现象学探问

《周易》时间问题是一个烦难的问题,也是一个为今天的易学研究所忽视甚至遗忘的问题。其实,《周易》是先秦古籍中最集中而深致地关注与论述时间问题的一部典籍。其时间观,是在原始文化的人文土壤中滋生出来的,具有独特的人文素质、品格与精神。《周易》的筮符结构就是它独特的"时"结构;而所谓"命运",表述的是一种处于神性时间与人性时间之际的巫性时间。"知几,其神乎"正是《周易》对这种巫性时间的趋于哲理内涵的追问。它显示了一种现象学的意义。用现象学的理论与方法,努力对周易时间观作深度解读,以"在"的提问会应《周易》"时"的价值与意义,在反思与批评中揭橥《周易》时间观特点。在众多的巫术文化中,唯有《周易》巫筮转嬗、成长为以哲理、伦理为主的史文化,这与它的巫性时间观有着密切的人文联系。
