对天水卦台山伏羲画卦传说的新思考──卦源新探

本文着重对颇有争议的先天八卦及《洛书·河图》的产生和最初含义进行了探讨。首次发现，伏羲氏是在甘肃天水龙马山，观变于隔河对岸卦台山的阴阳变化而画卦的。天水卦台山“三阳”时刻的阴阳变化现象即“两仪生四象，四象生八卦”。四象即四季，八卦即八节。四象八卦阳顺法编序，便是象序1、2、3、4，象数6、7、8、9和卦序（失传）卦数（洛书）。《洛书》是反映八节二十四气哲理的节气图。同时意外发现，《河图》是阴阳闭合周期图。说明伏羲八卦系列及其数日《河图·洛书》，是上古先民研制历法的一项纯学术思维系统工程，包括六个单项成果，互不可分。只有用我国农用节气历法，才能全面系统的通解先天八卦系列及其数图《河图》和《洛书》。     

论朱熹基于先天学的卦变说CSSCI

卦变说是揭示卦之所自来的有着独特理论内涵和功用的象数义例,与变卦说不同。朱熹认为,卦变说非画卦作《易》之本旨,属于后天之学。但细究其《卦变图》则不难发现,他是以先天卦序作为其卦变图建构原则的。这是朱熹以先天为体、后天为用思想的一种运用和落实。考诸《周易本义》注文,朱熹卦变有其突出的特点。据此,不少学者指出朱熹《卦变图》与《周易本义》注文不合。然详考其实,二者之间并不存在理论冲突,朱熹《卦变图》是一个纵横互通的系统,其施用原则非常灵活。朱熹卦变说是对程颐卦变说的批评,也是对李之才卦变说的发展,无论是在卦变理论特性的根本定位问题上,还是在具体卦变系统的建构和施用问题上,都取得了很大的突破,但同时也失去了或者说舍弃了卦变说中一些原有的理论意义和内涵。

融通河洛与先天后天的江永图书易学

江永在《河洛精蕴》中通过对以往图书之学的批评与反省,重新界定了图书之数与卦画阴阳之间的对应关系,并以纵横阴阳之数构建了全新的图书易学。他以河图纵横阴阳之数为基础,将河图与先天之学相融合,与洛书之数相匹配,又能够推展出后天八卦,从而打通图书、先天、后天之学,使其可以相互转化。江永试图以此解决过往图书学"图不能与书通""卦不能与数合""欲发明而未昭晰"的缺陷。

蔡元定对河图洛书的区分——兼论蔡氏父子的范数之学

蔡元定主张"河十洛九"、"河先洛后",与刘牧的"河九洛十"、"河洛同出"说相反。蔡元定强调河图与洛书的区分,与朱熹的"虚中为易、实中为范"说企图融合河图、洛书也不同。其目的是加强十数图与《周易》八卦的关联,九数图与《洪范》九畴的关联,进而将《洪范》纳入易学系统。其子蔡沈的《洪范皇极》以《周易》为象学,对应河图,以《洪范》为数学,对应洛书,正是这一目的的体现。这一区分是对刘牧河图、洛书说的发展,蔡氏父子由此构建了其范数之学。     

退溪易学的《河图》《洛书》观

本文主要从道家、道教、儒学的《周易》思想同源这一观点出发,结合朱熹的《河图》《洛书》观,比较全面地阐发了朝鲜李朝时期的“朱子学”大师李退溪的《河图》《洛书》观。作者在文中指出,李退溪的《河图》《洛书》观,虽然直接来源于朱熹的《易学启蒙》等著作,但亦受北宋初年道教大师陈抟《龙图序》的影响。退溪的易学思想同道教的《河图》《洛书》观有密切的理论渊源     

河图、洛书与朱熹哲学

河图、洛书与朱熹哲学陈超近几年来,研究河图、洛书的不乏其人,并且对两图所表征的意义进行了有益探讨。但是,有些探讨往往和《周易》中的神秘主义相结合,曲解了河图、洛书的本来意义。事实上,河图、洛书不过是道士陈传和学生种放、刘牧所为,后朱熹用之构筑自己的哲...

试论江永河洛变先后天八卦图式思想

江永为清朝杰出的经学家、天文学家、音韵学家。他终生潜心于教学与著述,为探索科学与实学做出了鲜明的表率。在易学上则比较注重对河图、洛书的阐发。江永主张河图、洛书衍生先、后天八卦。为论证自己的观点,江永运用了"河图中宫五、十"生成万物的思想。他认为河图之四方、八个数字皆由五、十所生成。只要我们让河图横列的乾九、兑四、离三、震八站立起来排列在左边,让河图纵列的巽二、坎七、艮六、坤一排列在右边,即可以得到先天八卦图。接着,把河图五行与八卦五行相对应,在河图五行方位中引入先天八卦五行,则后天八卦图跃然纸上。     

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
