从乾坤义理看牟宗三对儒家道德形上学诠释

Interpretation of Mou Zongsan’s Interpretation of Confucian Moral Metaphysics from the Perspective of the Principles of Heaven and Earth

摘要: 牟宗三从易学角度诠释儒家式的道德形上学主要集中在其后期的易学作品《周易哲学演讲录》中，他指出在易之乾坤义理中，乾元代表了创生原则，坤元代表了终成原则，儒家的道德形上学蕴于此乾坤两卦之中。“乾坤”所蕴含的义理思想超越而内在地概括了儒家智慧，“易简”则揭示了儒家道德实践的路径，能够实现本体与道德之纵贯。牟宗三对儒家道德形上学基本理论的阐释以及把易学思想整体融入到了其哲学体系中，为中国古典思想的现代诠释指引方向。

Abstract: Mou Zongsan’s interpretation of Confucian moral metaphysics from the perspective of Yi studies is mainly concentrated in his later Yi studies work “Lectures on the Philosophy of the I Ching”. He pointed out that in the principle of heaven and earth in Yi, the Qianyuan represents the principle of creation and the Kunyuan represents the principle of ultimate achievement. The Confucian moral metaphysics is contained in these two hexagrams of heaven and Earth. The moral and ideological principles contained in “heaven and earth” transcend and internally summarize the wisdom of Confucianism, while “Yi Jian” reveals the path of Confucian moral practice, capable of achieving the vertical connection between the essence and morality. Mou Zongsan’s interpretation of the basic theories of Confucian moral metaphysics and his integration of the I Ching thought as a whole into his philosophical system have guided the direction for the modern interpretation of Chinese classical thought.
