摘要
韩国儒学究竟在多大程度上发展了宋明理学,这是一个尚未得到充分阐释的问题,而围绕"四端不中节"产生的一系列争论则是其中颇为重要的切面."四端"在《孟子》的语境中无疑是纯善的,然而在理气与性情的框架中,却难逃"不中节"的质疑.对于"四端",文章通过言说方式的视角还原了《孟子》所论"四端"的意涵.对于"中节",以往学者多关注"中节"在性情论意义上的"情合于性",却忽视了其在制度层面的"合于礼乐",而二者皆与"中礼"关联甚深.正是道德和制度之间的张力,才使得四端不中节成为可能.这不仅提示出重新审视韩国儒学与宋明理学之间连续性的必要,也在一定程度上彰显了儒学不同文本之间概念拼接的复杂性与丰富性.
Abstract
The extent to which Korean Confucianism has developed Neo-Confucianism remains an inade-quately elucidated issue.A series of debates on the opinion that four principles(si duan)can be in dis-harmony(si duan bu zhongjie)represents a significant aspect of this issue.In the context of Mencius,the"four principles"are undoubtedly viewed as purely good.However,within the framework of princi-ple and material force(li qi)and human nature and emotions(xing qing),it is difficult to avoid being questioned about disharmony.This paper reconstructs the meaning of the"four principles"as discussed in Mencius from the perspective of verbal expressions.As for"zhongjie"(in harmony),previous schol-ars have mostly focused on its connotation of emotions harmonizing with nature(qing he yu xing)in the discourse of human nature and emotions,while neglecting its significance in terms of conforming to rites and music(he yu liyue)at the state institutional aspect.Both aspects are deeply related to"zhongli"(harmonious rites).It is the tension between morality and institutions that makes the possibility of the four principles can be in disharmony conceivable.This not only highlights the necessity of re-examining the continuity between Korean Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism but also reveals the complexity and richness of conceptual integration among different Confucian texts.
