王船山之「氣化的時間現象學」

Wang Chuanshan's Qi's Phenomenology of Time

本文闡釋王船山哲學中的時間觀，分別由天道時間、人道時間、歷史時間三層次說明之。其中最重要的是人道時間的提出，船山認為人道時間是天到時間的具體實現。除此之外，本文也由西方時間現象學的角度，說明船山的時間觀重視工夫與歷史，是一種轉化的時間現象學。並且船山比西方的轉化現象學更進一步，即是氣的強調，由此而成「氣化的時間現象學」。 This essay explicates temporality in Wang Chuan-Shan's philosophyby three layers of time: time of Heavenly way, time of human way andtime of history. Most prominent is the time of human way which Wangregards as realization of the time of Heavenly way. In addition, this essayexplains how Wang's perception of time embodies a form oftransformative phenomenology of time that emphasizes the relation ofself-cultivation and history. Compared with transformativephenomenology of time in the West, Wang's philosophy advances bygiving primacy to Qi which develops it into Qi's phenomenology of time.
