《易经》:早期儒家的形上学与意识进化学

相关资料初步表明,在中国古代,客观地把握人性及人与宇宙交互作用的自觉与努力业已发生。本文试图阐明《易经》的思维理路,借此思维理路,《易经》不仅塑造和影响了早期儒家形上学,而且也塑造和影响了诸如意识研究,尤其是意识学之类的当代研究领域。《易经》的发展及其在西方的传播,正说明了这一点。意识学研究人性,思考存在的其他领域。在这些方面,意识学与《周易》是相通的。将意识学同中国古代思想相比较可以看出,我们现在所研究的意识学在中国古代思想中早已有之。基于这一历史事实,我们有必要在意识学的起始处研究意识学。在意识学研究中,意识进化学是一个不可或缺的、必须进行研究的内容。我们可以通过《易经》来探索意识的进化。

The Yijing ,Early Confucian Metaphysics and Evolutiology

Some of the first indications of an organized effort to gain an objective understanding of human nature and the interplay between humankind and the workings of the universe are to be found in ancient China. The authors endeavor to illustrate ways in which the Yijing shaped and influenced not only early Confucian metaphysics, but current areas such as consciousness research, more specifically conscientiology. The development of the Yijing and its introduction to the West is outlined for this purpose. As eonseientiology investigates human nature, considering other realms of existence, it presents commonalities with the Yijing. Early Chinese thought is compared with the science of conscientiology and it is suggested that its first evidences reside in ancient China, thereby serving, as it were, to return the body of conseientiological knowledge home. Evolutiology plays an integral role in the studies of conscientiology and it is posed that the Yijing can be utilized as a tool for the evolution of the consciousness.
