〈易傳〉亦稱十翼,據當前學者考據,漸趨於確認其成書於戰國中、後期,兼容並蓄諸家學說,〈易傳〉的學派屬性,當今學者分爲道家說與儒家說兩派。筆者認爲先秦的學派意識並不尖銳,因此,本文不擬處理這一具爭議的論題。本文針對《論語》、《孟子》兩書中對理想化的人格,如:士、君子、聖賢的內涵特徵來對比《易傳》中的理想人格,予以深刻分析,考察兩者間是否有相符應的特質和生命精神。文中處處以各書的文本爲依據、詮釋其間的內在關連性。本文分就內聖修德及外王經世兩大論題條分縷析其間相互對應的論述和概念涵義,論證出在〈易傳〉的形成歷程中,《論語》、《孟子》是構成其思想要義的重要成素。
This paper is intended to make a contrast between the idealized character in Lun Yu and Meng Zi and the idealized character in Yi Zhuan, examining whether there are any corresponding aspects and spirits between these characters. Based on texts from the three books, the writer interprets the interrelations between them. Besides, the corresponding statements and concepts are analyzed in terms of the saint's way and the king's way. The argument of this article is about the development and formation of Yi Zhuan, of which Lun Yu and Meng Zi are important elements.
