以哲學入騷—試論王夫之《楚辭通釋》之楚辭學詮釋

The Philosophy in Chu Ci Studies: The Exegesis of Chu Ci Studies in Wang Fu-chih's A Comprehensive Commentary of the Chu Ci.

王夫之《楚辭通釋》之撰寫，誠然受到傳統《楚辭》學詮釋脈絡之影響，以呈現個人平生家國黍離之感，並藉由文化事業，表達身為遺民的無奈。但此並不足以解釋《楚辭通釋》之全部意義與價值。本文擬指出，《楚辭通釋》置於《楚辭》學脈絡之中，具有其特殊的詮釋手法：一方面遵循傳統詮釋脈絡，指出屈原及其作品的核心義涵「忠」；另一方面則考察「本事」以還原屈子原意，又以「玄言」概念之變換，曲折地表達其核心義涵。而無論是何種手法，其背後皆有王夫之厚實的經學哲學思考。值此，足以架構出屬於《楚辭通釋》的哲學脈絡：「本質直觀」、「現象還原」以及「想像變換」。

Wang’s book was reckoned to be a practice of typical Chu Ci exegesis. As a matter of fact, Wang’s exegetical attempts were based on his philosophic interpretation of The Four Books, which in consequence frameworks the philosophic in A Comprehensive Commentary of the Chu Ci.
