图书简介

“万物一体”是北宋五子哲学的一个主题,它既指示天地万物在天道观向度上的某种统一,又承载着他们所企及的“仁民爱物”之人道观理想。从理论渊源上讲,北宋五子“万物一体”论,是先秦儒家“天人合一”说的延续。在先秦儒家那里,“天人合一”说的提出尽管以天人的相关性思考为前提,但由于问题偏向的不同,所以“天人合一”又可分为天道观意义上的“合一”与人道观意义上的“合一”。就这两种不同意义的“天人合一”说而论,天道观意义上的“合一”以天道现象的过程性表述为基点,思考天地万物生生不已的必然性和统一性;人道观意义上的“合一”则以天道现象的泛道德思辨为前提,旨在明示人道观理想在内容上应具有关爱他人与关爱他物的一面。受“天人合一”说的二重性影响,“万物一体”论在北宋五子那里表现为天道观与人道观两个向度。

“万物一体”的天道观向度展示了天地万物之间的本然相关和相联,在北宋五子的表述中,这种相关和相联则被引申为一种过程性的统一。也就是说,对于北宋五子而言,“万物一体”的天道观向度之所以可能,建基于他们对天地万物生生不已现象的普遍洞察,以此为视域,天地万物普遍必然的生生不已在本体论层面被还原为一个具有动态基质的“生生之道”。在“生生之道”成为本体的意义上,北宋五子对天地万物的生生不已展开了统一性寻思。从现代哲学的立场看,北宋五子基于天地万物生生不已的现象探求“生生之道”的本然存在,仅仅是对自然法则所持的某种抽象偏好而已,即由天地万物具体的生生不已出发,以思辨的方式揭示了这些现象背后的过程统一性,其在理论上并不能表征涵纳万事万物的整个存在。

虽然从天地万物的生生不已出发构设“生生之道”在理论上是有限的,但是,北宋五子借此关注“万物一体”的天道观向度也不乏其现实意义。一方面,在佛、老并盛的境遇下,“万物一体”的天道观向度在本体论层面回应了佛教和道教对“再生”与“不死”的渲染,由此在理论基础上确保了儒家积极追寻人生意义的正当性;另一方面,基于万物在天道观向度上生生不已的普遍性和必然性,北宋五子展开了他们对人道观理想的普遍之思。由“太极”而立“人极”,由“天理”而明“人理”,由“气化之道”引出“存没关切”,以及邵雍对一多关系的多维辨正,即是依此而敞开的。

“万物一体”的人道观向度在北宋五子那里首先表现为一种成就他者的仁爱关怀。在如此关怀中,自我以普遍的道德之心关爱或包容着他人与他物,贯彻于其中的则是儒家“亲亲”—“仁民”—“爱物”的价值原则。按照北宋五子的观点,“万物一体”的仁爱关怀既表现为抽象的价值观念,亦浓缩于圣人现实的道德品格中。作为抽象的价值观念,关爱他人和关爱他物来自于普遍的价值设定,而作为圣人现实的道德品格,关爱他人和关爱他物又见之于圣人具体的一言一行。在“圣人之道”成为“人之极则”的意义上,体认圣人替他者说了什么和为他者做了什么,是北宋五子领悟儒家人道观理想的一部分。

除了成就他者的仁爱关怀外,“万物一体”的人道观向度还指向一种理想的人生境界。相应于“万物一体”在人道观向度上的拓展,领悟儒家人道观理想不再局限于关爱他者的层面。由于境界论的介入,在价值关怀上兼及自我,继而实现满足自我和关爱他者的统一也成为其题中之意,北宋五子玩味“圣人气象”正是因此而引发。在“万物一体”成为人生理想的前提下,北宋五子认为,践行“仁民爱物”的价值原则对圣人而言具有满足自我精神需求的意蕴,随着践行活动的展开,圣人在精神上呈现出一种泰然自足、怡然自乐的气象。通过对圣人精神气质的深度体察,北宋五子放大了他们自己的精神世界,在自我人生使命的认识上发生了变化,即由原初的独善其身最终变更为兼济天下。这样,躬行“仁民爱物”的价值原则随之也成为他们满足自我精神需求之必须。

对于北宋五子而言,“万物一体”的以上两个向度都非常重要,且缺一不可。由“万物一体”的人道观向度出发,北宋五子不仅为人们确立了一种博施济众、厚德载物的价值理想,同时还在境界论意义上赋予这种价值理想本身以满足自我精神需求的意蕴。基于“万物一体”的天道观向度,北宋五子又把儒家“仁民爱物”的价值原则在形式上推向普遍之维,并使之在现实中成为自我省思人生意义的必然抉择。

Abstract

Theory of one body(Wanwuyiti万物一体),which not only indicates a unity of heaven,earth and myriad things(Tiandiwanwu天地万物)in dimension of nature(Tiantao 天道),but also implies one sort of value ideal of love for human beings and all things(Renminaiwu 仁民爱物)in dimension of morality(Rentao 人道),is a key subject in the philosophy of Wuzi(five great thinkers五子)who lived in the Northern Song dynasty(Beisong 北宋).Theoretically speaking,Wuzi's theory of one body can be considered as a continuation of Pre-Qin(Xianqin 先秦)Confucian doctrine of unity of heaven and man(Tianrenheyi 天人合一).The doctrine is based on a correlated meditation on heave and man,but on account of different interest in theory,it can be divided into the unity in dimension of nature and the harmony in dimension of morality.As far as the two different dimensions are concerned,the former is founded on a process description of natural phenomena,in order to reveal the necessity and the unity of ceaselessness(Shengshengbuyi 生生不已)of heaven,earth and myriad things,and the later is on the premise of a pan-moral speculation on natural phenomena,to express the aspect of love for him or it.Influenced by the above dual character,Wuzi's theory of one body can be divided into dimension of nature and dimension of morality.

Theory of one body in dimension of nature manifests a natural combination among heaven,earth and myriad things,but the combination was described as a unification of progress in Wuzi's opinion.In other word,it is Wuzi's meditation on the ceaseless phenomena of heaven,earth and myriad things that made understanding of theory of one body in dimension of nature possible,and in this dimension,the universal and necessary ceaselessness of heaven,earth and myriad things is reduced to a ceaseless Tao(Shengshengzhidao 生生之道)in theory of Benti(本体论).In the sense of ceaseless Tao serving as Benti,Wuzi began their thinking on the unity of ceaselessness of heaven,earth and myriad things.From the view of modern philosophy,we can find that it is only an abstract inclination to law of nature for Wuzi to demonstrate the connatural existence of ceaseless Tao,which was thought to be the root cause of the ceaseless phenomena of heaven,earth and myriad things,and in theory it can't represent a great whole which contains all things,except for disclosing a unity of the progress among them in a speculative way.

Although it is limited in theory that Wuzi proposed a concept of ceaseless Tao based on ceaseless phenomena of heaven,earth and myriad things,that is not to say,their attention to theory of one body have nothing to do with the realities.On the one hand,under the situation that Buddhism and Taoism are widely acclaimed,Wuzi refuted Buddhist and Taoist excessively exaggerating the idea of rebirth(Zaisheng 再生)and immortality(Busi 不死)in theory of Benti,and thereby they ensured the legitimacy of Confucian active life style on the foundation;on the other hand,by considering the universality and the necessity model based on views of nature,Wuzi shown the possibility of constructing the universality of moral law.It is just in this sense that they put forward the doctrine of Taiji(太极)-Renji(人极),the doctrine of the combination between the one and the many(Yiduoguanxi 一多关系),the doctrine of transformative Tao(Qihuazhidao 气化之道)-life concern(Cunmoguanqie 存没关切)and the doctrine of Tianli(天理)-Renli(人理).

Wuzi's theory of one body in dimension of morality firstly implies a value concern of love for the other,in which oneself acquires a virtue of love for the other by his moral heart,and it is Confucian value principles of love for close relatives,human beings and things(Qinqin-Renmin-Aiwu 亲亲—仁民—爱物)that impenetrate in that concern.According to Wuzi's viewpoint,the concern of love for the other was both an abstract value idea and a sort of sages' moral character in reality.As an abstract value idea,it was from value programming,and as a sort of sages'moral character in reality,it was thought to be embodied in sages'concrete words and deeds.in the sense of sages'Tao(Shengre nzhidao 圣人之道)serving as the highest standard to all the people(Renzhijize人之极则),realizing what sages had said or done for the other became one part for Wuzi to understand Confucian moral ideal.

Apart from the concern of love for the other,theory of one body in dimension of morality also denotes one sort of ideal realm of life(Renshengjingjie人生境界).Corresponding to the expansion of theory of one body in dimension of morality,understanding Confucian moral ideal is no longer limited to the level of love for the other.Because of the intervention of the realm(Jingjielun 境界论),how to unify love for the other and satisfying self became another part for Wuzi to understand Confucian moral ideal,too,and that is the only reason why Wuzi were interested in chewing over sages'style(Shengrenqixiang圣人气象).On the premise of theory of one body serving as life ideal,Wuzi thought that practising the value idea of love for human beings and all things could met spiritual need for sages,and with such a practice done,they also thought that sages themselves had achieved a realm in which they were very satisfied as well as very happy.By the means of pondering over sages' style,Wuzi enlarged their own spiritual world,and namely they eventually developed their life mission into a love for all in the world(Jianjitianxia 兼济天下)from a love only for themselves(Dushanqishen 独善其身).In this sense,practising the value ideal of love for human beings and all things became necessary for Wuzi to meet their own spiritual demand.

For Wuzi,the above two dimensions of theory of one body were both very important and very indispensable.By deeply thinking on theory of one body in dimension of morality,Wuzi not only constructed a sort of value ideal of relieving the people with liberal aids(Boshijizhong 博施济众)and holding all things with great virtue(Houdezaiwu厚德载物)for man in the field of moral philosophy,but also endowed this sort of value ideal with an implication of meeting the demand of self-spirit in the sense of realm.On the basis of theory of one body in natural dimension,Wuzi also endowed Confucian value ideal of love for human beings and all things with universality in form,and what'more,they made it become a necessary choice to think over the meaning of their own life in reality.

"The unity of all things" is a theme of the philosophy of the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, which not only indicates a certain unity of all things in heaven and earth in the direction of the Heavenly Taoist View, but also carries the ideal of humanity of "benevolence and love for things" that they aspire to. In terms of theoretical origin, the theory of "the unity of all things" of the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty is a continuation of the pre-Qin Confucian theory of "the unity of heaven and man". In the pre-Qin Confucianism, although the theory of "the unity of heaven and man" is premised on the idea of the correlation between heaven and man, due to the different biases of the problem, the "unity of heaven and man" can be divided into "unity" in the sense of heavenly Taoism and "unity" in the sense of humanitarianism. As far as these two different meanings of "unity of heaven and man" are concerned, the "unity" in the sense of the Heavenly Taoist view takes the procedural expression of the phenomenon of the Heavenly Dao as the basis for thinking about the inevitability and unity of the endless life of all things in heaven and earth; "Unity" in the sense of humanism is premised on the pan-moral speculation of the phenomenon of heavenly path, aiming to make it clear that the ideal of humanism should have a side of loving others and caring for others in content. Influenced by the duality of the theory of "the unity of heaven and man", the theory of "the unity of all things" was expressed in the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty as two dimensions: the Taoist view of heaven and the view of humanity. The Taoist view of "the unity of all things" shows the natural correlation and connection between all things in heaven and earth, and in the expression of the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, this correlation and connection is extended to a kind of process unity. In other words, for the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, the possibility of the "oneness of all things" in the Heavenly Taoist view was based on their universal insight into the phenomenon of the endless birth of all things in heaven and earth, and from this perspective, the universal and inevitable birth of all things in heaven and earth has been reduced to a "way of birth" with a dynamic matrix at the ontological level. In the sense that the "way of life" became the ontology, the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty began a unified search for the birth of all things in heaven and earth. From the standpoint of modern philosophy, the Northern Song Dynasty's Wuzi's exploration of the natural existence of the "way of life" based on the phenomenon of the endless birth of all things in heaven and earth is only an abstract preference for natural laws, that is, starting from the concrete life of all things in heaven and earth, revealing the unity of the process behind these phenomena in a speculative way, which cannot theoretically represent the entire existence of all things. Although it is theoretically limited to construct the "way of life" from the origin of all things in heaven and earth, the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty also have practical significance in paying attention to the dimension of the heavenly Taoism of "the unity of all things". On the one hand, under the situation of Buddha and old people flourishing at the same time, the ontological dimension of "the oneness of all things" responds to the ontological level of Buddhism and Taoism's rendering of "regeneration" and "immortality", thereby ensuring the legitimacy of Confucianism's active pursuit of the meaning of life on the basis of theory. On the other hand, based on the universality and inevitability of all things in the direction of the Heavenly Taoist View, the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty developed their universal thinking about the ideal of the concept of humanity. From "Tai Chi" to the "Ren Pole", from "Heavenly Principle" to "Human Reason", from the "Way of Gasification" to "Existential Concern", and Shao Yong's multi-dimensional identification of the relationship between one and many is opened up according to this. The humane dimension of "the oneness of all things" was first manifested in the Wuzi of the Northern Song Dynasty as a kind of benevolent care for those who achieve others. In this kind of care, the self cares for or tolerates others and other things with a universal moral heart, and what is implemented in it is the Confucian value principle of "kinship"-"benevolence"-"love of things". According to the view of the Wuzi of the Northern Song Dynasty, the benevolent care of "the unity of all things" is not only expressed as abstract values, but also condensed in the moral character of the saint's reality. As abstract values, caring for others and others comes from universal value settings, and as the actual moral character of the saint, caring for others and caring for others can be seen in the concrete words and deeds of the saint. In the sense that the "way of the saints" became the "ultimate rule of man", understanding what the saints said and did for others was part of the understanding of the Taoist ideals of the Confucian family of the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition to the benevolent care of others, the humane dimension of "the oneness of all things" also points to an ideal state of life. Corresponding to the expansion of the "oneness of all things" in the humanistic perspective, the understanding of the Confucian Taoist ideal is no longer limited to the level of caring for others. Due to the intervention of realm theory, it has become the meaning of the title to combine self-care in value care, and then realize the unity of satisfying oneself and caring for others, and it is precisely because of this that the Northern Song Dynasty Wuzi played with "sage weather". Under the premise that "the unity of all things" has become the ideal of life, the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty believe that practicing the value principle of "benevolence and love for things" has the meaning of satisfying the spiritual needs of the saint, and with the development of the practice activities, the saint presents a calm and self-sufficient atmosphere in spirit. Through a deep understanding of the spiritual temperament of the saints, the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty enlarged their own spiritual world and changed their understanding of their own mission in life, that is, from the original self-care to the benefit of the world. In this way, practicing the value principle of "benevolence and love for things" has also become necessary for them to meet their own spiritual needs. For the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, the above two dimensions of "the unity of all things" are very important and indispensable. Starting from the humane perspective of "the unity of all things", the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty not only established a value ideal for people to be generous and virtuous, but also gave this value ideal itself the meaning of satisfying one's own spiritual needs in the sense of realm theory. Based on the Heavenly Taoist view of "the unity of all things", the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty pushed the Confucian value principle of "benevolence and love for things" to the universal dimension in form, and made it an inevitable choice for self-reflection on the meaning of life in reality.
