论牟宗三哲学中的易学研究

牟宗三的易学研究为的是从易学中发见与解析中国哲学、中国思想,旨在抉发中国的玄学与道德哲学,而不是作一种历史的研究。他从哲学上为《周易》的解释提供了一个逻辑符号论的模型,为中国古典思想的现代诠释作出了首开先河的有益尝试;他对易学的“实在论的价值论”或“超越的内在”的价值论的诠释,与康德、维特根斯坦关于道德世界的“超越的外在论”不同;他对易之道德世界的分析与解释也是极其形式化的逻辑的。在这些分析与解释中,《周易》的“逻辑世界”或“符号世界”变成了语义的价值世界,或者说,作为“数理物理”世界的《周易》变成了价值论的道德世界。无论是在叙述方式,或内容的阐释与解析上,牟氏的这项研究都是十分新颖的,为国内所未有。但是,牟氏的易学研究只是他学思的开端起步,相对于他的逻辑研究来说,易学研究构成了他的哲学思想发展进路的前逻辑起点,而非逻辑起点,具有形式的象征意义。

On MU Zong-san's I Ching learning in his philosophy

Purpose for MU Zong-san to study I Ching learning was to discover and interpret Chinese philosophical thoughts in I Ching learning, aiming at digging out Chinese metaphysics and moral philosophy but not a study of I Ching learning history. He offered philosophical model of logic symbol for interpreting Zhouyi and worked out a first beneficial attempt at the modernistic interpretation of Chinese classics thoughts. His interpretations of the axiology of realism or the axiology of transcendental immanence of I Ching learning differ from I. Kant and L. Wittgensteins transcendental externalism of the moral world. His analyses and interpretations of I Ching were also much of formal logic. And Zhouyi's world of logic or world ofsymbols became a semantic world of axiology. or Zhouyi as a numerical and physical world became a moral world of axiology in his analyses and interpretations. No matter in his styles of account or his elucidation and interpretation on the contents. Mu's study of I Ching learning was quite unique and fresh. Yet, MU's study of I Ching learning was only the starting point for his academic thought. Compared to his study of logic, his study of I Ching learning was only a pre-logical but not a logical starting point, possessing a formal symbolic significance.
