楊簡心學定位的兩個問題

Two Main Problems of Orientation for the Heart Studies by Yang Gien

在中國心學史中，「學苟知本，六經皆我注腳」，六經注我，我注六經」乃是其基本信念，故宋代心學巨壁陸象山便極不屑「內無益於身，外無益於人」的瑣碎注經工作。然象山的首席大弟子楊簡，卻不辭辛苦地遍注群經以發揮其心學體證。只惜在傳統僵化一元的經學評量標準下，楊簡經學被四庫提要貶抑為「全入於禪」；另在學問特性與評價定位上，大陸學者崔大華更直批楊簡心學是「儒家的蒙昧主義」。有見於此，本文嘗試建基於中國生命之學的場域，從各個宏觀以迄微觀的不同內外切面及文本義理考察，來解索、還原、說明上述兩個有關楊簡心學定位的本質問題與內在糾葛真相。
