方東美先生論周濂溪思想──兼答劉述先先生

Mr. Thome H. Fang's criticized Zhou, Lian-xi's thinking: Answering Mr. Liu, Shuxian as Well

方東美先生是中國當代具代表性的重要哲學家，無論中西哲 學與文化，方先生皆有深入且具洞見的詮釋與批判。其中，對宋 明新儒學，尤其是周濂溪的思想，更有其特殊之見解與批判。本 文首先以回應劉述先先生對方東美先生思想之反省，其次，本文 先展示方先生對濂溪的〈太極圖說〉、《通書》的詮釋與批判。第 三為本文的回應與補充，如果我們將〈太極圖說〉與《通書》視 為一體而互為詮釋，則方先生的許多質疑便可獲得回應。即使單 獨討論之，我們也可以提出一套有別於方先生的詮釋，而避免方 先生所批判的困難與缺失。
