孟子是孔子的嫡系真传,这早已成为千百年来的定论。但仔细研读《论语》与《孟子》,就会发现问题绝非如此简单。本文仅从心性之学的角度探讨这个问题,试图证明孔孟在这方面存在着相当程度的分歧,并说明这种分歧对于后世的重要影响。 Mencius is the real system of Confucianism, which has long been the verdict for thousands of years. But a careful study of The Analects and Mencius will reveal that the problem is by no means so simple. This article explores this issue only from the perspective of psychology, trying to prove that there is a considerable degree of disagreement between Confucius and Mencius in this regard and illustrates the important impact this disagreement has on later generations.
