摘要
传统儒学包括孔孟之道与孔荀之制两个方面,不论是历史上的宋明理学,还是当代港台新儒家,均采取尊孟贬荀的态度,对儒学的认识是不全面、不完整的。荀子是战国后期儒家的重要代表人物,也是继孔子、孟子之后儒家的最后一位思想大师。孔子以仁、礼奠定了儒学基本规模,孟子从心性维度深化了孔门仁学,而荀子则通过对人性问题的深入辨析和对礼义法度的诠释建构,拓展了儒学的外王视界。在体现出一种更加阔大的统合性视野的同时,也为即将到来的大一统时代奠定了正理平治的理论基础。今天儒学的重建应统合孟荀,兼顾孔孟之道与孔荀之制,这是荀子思想重新受到学界的关注、出现荀学热的根本原因。荀子思想可以概括为:性恶心善,义利两有;隆礼重法,积善成德;知通统类,法先后王。从当代视角看,荀子思想中蕴含的治国理念对于今人而言也具有重要的启发意义,值得细加发掘。
Traditional Confucianism includes the way of Confucius and Mencius,and the system of Confucius and Xunzi.Both the historical Song and Ming Confucianism and the contemporary Hong Kong and Taiwan new Confucianism all adopt an attitude of respecting Mencius and degrading Xunzi,and their understanding of Confucianism is incomplete.Xunzi was an important representative of Confucianism in the late Warring States period,and the last Confucian thought master after Confucius and Mencius.Confucius established the basic scale of Confucianism with benevolence and etiquette,Mencius deepened Confucian benevolence from the perspective of mind and nature,and Xunzi expanded the horizon of Confucianism through in-depth analysis of human nature issues and the interpretation and construction of ritual law.While reflecting a broader vision of integration,Xunzi also laid the theoretical foundation for justice and peace governance for the coming era of great unification.The reconstruction of Confucianism today should integrate Mencius and Xunzi,and take into account both the Confucian and Mencius way and Confucianism.This is the fundamental reason why Xunzi’s thought has regained the attention of academic circles and the emergence of Xunzi’s enthusiasm.Xunzi’s thought could be summarized as the follows:evil nature but kind hearted,righteousness and benefit coexisting;grand ceremony and emphasis on law,accumulating goodness into virtue;knowledge,communication and unification,imitate both ancient king and modern king.From a contemporary perspective,the idea of governing the country contained in Xunzi’s thought also has important enlightening significance for people today,and it is worth exploring in detail.
