太宰春臺《產語》及相關問題再探

A Reinvestigation of Dazai Shundai's ＂Sango＂

本文以江戶時代儒者太宰春臺之經濟思想著作《產語》為研究對象。首先筆者針對存在不同說法的作者問題進行辨析，指出春臺為該書作者。接著將《產語》思想結構分為治生原則與國家經濟政策兩個層面，以生產、節儉、儲蓄三項要素加以貫串，討論春臺主張的重農抑商想法，並就該書思想屬性問題，指出《產語》乃儒法雜揉之作，而以儒家為主，法家為輔。最後，筆者論述春臺《經濟錄》與《產語》和當時江戶社會經濟困境之間的關係，同時說明來自徂徠學派的基本主張如何決定了春臺在《產語》中的作法。筆者稍微修正關於春臺的先行研究內容，指出春臺對復古的要求其實甚為關鍵，與其經濟思想之間有密切關係。另外，基於復古要求而對封建制的擁護，並不如春臺所想的足以長治久安，是為其缺陷。

This article explores ＂Sango＂ 產語, a book about economic thought written by Japanese Confucian Dazai Shundai 太宰春臺 (1680-1747). Firstly, based on my study in philology, I point out that the author of Sango is Dazai Shundai. Secondly, I analyze the structure of the thought in ＂Sango＂ and explain Dazai Shundai's economic policy in order to highlight his ideas on developing agriculture and controlling commerce. Thirdly, I investigate the relationship between Dazai Shundai's economics thought and the Sorai School 徂徠學派 for the explanation of why he wrote ＂Sango＂ and the values and the limits of it.
