民本思想是陆九渊心学的核心指向,它的政治向度从心学母体中孕育而生,转进为一种具有平民精神的中国传统政治哲学理论范式。陆九渊将“本心”提撕到“天理”的哲学高度,以“人无贫贱皆向善”的悲悯情怀彰显“不识一字,亦还我堂堂地做个人”的人学立场。陆九渊从理势之辨、君臣之分、君民之义等多个视角构建起以生民关怀为理论诉求的政治哲学和以政治向度为核心表征的民本思想。以“从心性到政治”的阐释理路进行分析,陆九渊民本思想的政治向度体现在政治理念、政治实践和政治教化三个层面。由此,陆九渊民本思想的现代诠释得以深构。
From Mind & Nature to Politics: An Political Interpretation Of Lu Jiuyuan's People-oriented Governance
Ouyang Zhenren,Yang Yongtao(Wuhan University)
Abstract People-oriented governance constitutes the core orientation of Lu Jiuyuan's School of Mind, with its political interpretation emerging from the matrix of the School of Mind and evolving into a traditional Chinese political philosophy theoretical paradigm imbued with the spirit of populism. Lu elevated the "Original Mind" to the philosophical height of "Heavenly Principle", manifesting a humanistic stance that "even illiterate, one can still live a dignified life as a human being" with the compassionate feelings that "all men, however poor or humble, are inclined towards goodness". Lu constructed a political philosophy with people's concerns as its theoretical appeal and a people-oriented governance with political orientation as its core from multiple perspectives, including the distinction between principle and trend, ruler and minister, as well as ruler and people. Through the interpretive framework of "from mind & nature to politics", the political orientation of Lu's people-oriented governance is manifested in three levels: political idea, political practice and political enlightenment. Thus, a profound modern interpretation of Lu's people-oriented governance can be achieved.
Key words Lu Jiuyuan; Original Mind; People-oriented governance; political orientation
