形上学有两种类型:基础主义的和解释性的。持后形上学立场的学者对形上学的批判大部分指向前者而非后者。朱熹的形上学,特别是其关于人性的形上学,是解释性的而非基础主义的,因此,它可以避免来自后形上学思想家所提出的批评。它从以下两方面的经验事实出发并试图对这样的经验事实做出解释:存在着恻隐之心、羞恶之心、辞让之心和是非之心等人类情感;人禽之辨,前者可以在道德上臻于完善而后者不可能。朱熹的人性形上学对我们的道德修养起到一种重要的规范作用。

中国传统文化主流之一的儒家思想被纳入“中国哲学”学科已有近百年的历史,本土儒学的“哲学化”与外来哲学的“中国化”几乎同时并进,早已成不可扭转之势。自改革开放40年特别是近十年以来,中国哲学研究取得了令世人瞩目的成就,其中以朱子学和阳明学为核心内容的宋明理学研究更是积累了丰厚的成果,进而为中国哲学的发展做出了重要贡献。在当前弘扬优秀传统文化的新形势下,对宋明理学的研究历史与未来发展进行必要的回顾和展望,将有利于推动中国哲学的发展,促进儒家传统文化的当代转化。

本文追溯了朱子诚意思想的前后变化,考察了朱子晚年修改《大学》“诚意”章注的过程,指出“诚意”在朱子的修养工夫论体系中的尴尬地位,其问题的症结在于:既然真知必然乐行,为什么在致知之外仍然需要诚意工夫?诚意工夫是否有独立的意义?工夫的要领是什么?朱子早期坚持知至之后必然意诚的观点,工夫论上大有天才知吞没诚意工夫之嫌。后来他逐渐意识到诚意的独特性。朱子对“自欺”的解释开始为“有意自欺论”,转为“无意自欺论”,最后又改为一种温和的“有意自欺论”。朱子临终前应当是将经一章注的“一于善”... more

随着美德伦理学最近几十年在英语世界的复兴,从事比较哲学的学者纷纷在自己的哲学传统中挖掘美德伦理学的资源。但是这样的比较研究大多以西方美德伦理学的某种历史形态、特别是亚里士多德的伦理学为范例,通过观察这样的美德伦理有哪些主要特征,再来看研究者所关心的传统是否有这些特征,进而断定此传统是否是一种美德伦理。与此相反,本文先说明什么是美德伦理学的理想形态,然后以此为标准分别考察亚里士多德和朱熹的伦理学,进而指出: 真正符合理想形态的美德伦理学的伦理学家,不是前者而是后者。

与后果论要求我们为最多的人创造最多的幸福和义务论要求我们遵循普遍的道德规则不同,美德论要求我们成为具 有美德的人。因此美德论有时被批评具有自我中心倾向,似乎我的唯一目标就是使自己获得美德。这种批评表面上很容易回 应,因为美德论要求我获得的很多美德都是涉及他人的,例如仁慈这种美德就要求我关心他人的利益,因此不是自我中心的。 但这种批评还有两个更深的层次:一方面,美德伦理学认为一个人的美德比一个人的外在利益更重要,但一个人在追求美德过... more

大卫·休谟在《人性论》中提出了著名的“是”与“应当”的两分:不能从一个“是”陈述推出一个“应当”陈述。这个两分成为持久的伦理学话题。当 代 的 马 克·纳 尔 逊 和 约 翰·瑟尔为解决这个两分提出了各自的形式主义尝试;罗莎琳德·赫斯特豪斯的亚里士多德主义尝试则更具实质性。但这些尝试都是不成功的。而朱熹对人性的解释为我们提供了一个更有可能成功的方案。
