A Study of the Wang Fu-chih's genealogy of Book of Changes / 王船山周易系譜學研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 中國文學系研究所 / 95 / The “Wang Fu-chih’s genealogy of Book of Changes” is composed of knowledge, moral and power which construct a kind of network of relations. It is moral that both knowledge and power come from, so this is the center of his theory.
About the methodology, the idea of the structure of this paper is transformed from the French philosopher “Michel Foucault”, but the really important point of the Wang Fu-chih’s genealogy is distinctive of the Foucault’s. The basic discursive form of his theories is based on the concepts of yin and yang that is the basic structure of this classic also. Through the same symbol system, the basic principles of yin and yang can interpret the knowledge of nature, the cultivate practice of moral, and the historical discourses of political power. So his interpretations about all the diagrams of this classic create triple meanings constructed by knowledge, moral, and power.
First, for the knowledge investigations in his interpretations, the knowledge system included in the genealogy of Book of changes is related to the scientific horizon at that time. Briefly speaking, it was based on the “yin and yang paradigm” and the “cosmology paradigm” that which belonged to the Chinese traditional concepts, so that his interpretations about the sentences of the classic applied them to explain the laws of natural phenomena within the classic narrative.
Second, for the moral problems in his interpretations, the moral philosophy in the Wang’s genealogy was according to the “human nature” theory of Confucianism, but he had himself opinions we called “creative hermeneutics”. The most important point of his theory was the circle constructed by subject and practice. So the human nature was not only the origin of his moral philosophy, but was the end of it. In other words, his theory contained two ways: one was “from subject to practice”, and the other was “from practice to subject”. He paid more attention to the latter.
Third, for the power issues in his interpretations, his studies about the Book of Changes put much emphasis on practical process, and he also emphasized the social practice that should name “history” as well . Because he transited to society his original theoretical attention, he thought deeply historical crisis of his time. On the basis of it, he took the “autonomy of ethic group” as the central value of history.
In short, the complicated network of relations made by knowledge, moral, and power is the key point of the Wang Fu-chih’s genealogy of Book of Changes.
