摘要: 虽然先秦各学派大都有对其他学派所秉持的价值观念的批判,但儒家学派的批判才具有理性的自觉意识,并且命之曰正名,至荀子发展成为一种理论学说,代表着先秦哲学中价值批判的最高水平。这首先表现在荀子对十二子的批判中表现出极强的理性洞察力,其观点和论证具有相当自洽的系统性,传递出哲学理论思维的特有魅力;其次表现在荀子将“道”作为其“正名”学说的基础。但是,由于荀子并没有解决老子哲学本体论意义上的“道”与先秦儒家价值论意义上的“道”之间的扞格不通,导致了他的正名学说没能做到自圆其说。

Abstract: Although all schools of thought criticized the values of others in the pre-Qin period, only the criticism of Confucianism, called as rectification, was rationally self-conscious. Xunzi eventually developed a doctrine of rectification. It represents the highest level of value criticism among the pre-Qin philosophies in two senses: Firstly, Xunzi shows his insights in the criticism of twelve thinkers with systematic arguments full of unique charm of philosophical thinking; secondly, Xunzi takes dao as the foundation of his doctrine of rectification. However, Xunzi’s doctrine of rectification is inconsistent since he fails to unify the ontological dao in Laozi and the Confucian dao at the level of value.
