子曰:“学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。”(《论语·为政》)这里的“学”,在我看来就是对经典的解读、诠释与参照。所谓“学者”,在很大程度上是指经典的研习者。因此,经典的研究,可以说是构成了我们一生所求之半部。当然,这里所录孔子语录的前半句乃是告诫学人,不要只是一味地研究经典,而不进行自己的审思。“思”乃是我们获取生活智慧之途径的另外半部,且不说是大半还是小半。无思之学不仅无益,而且有害。在这点上,它与孟子所说的“尽信书,则不如无书”(《孟子·尽心下》) Confucius said: “Learning without thinking is indiscriminate, thinking is not learning is perilous.” (“Analects of Confucius for the government”) “Learning” here, in my view is the interpretation of the classic, interpretation and reference. The so-called “scholar”, to a large extent, refers to the classic learners. Therefore, the classic research can be said to constitute the half of our life. Of course, the first half of Confucius quotes recorded here is a warning to scholars, do not just blindly study the classic, without conducting their own deliberations. “Thinking” is the other half of the way we gain the wisdom of life, not to mention half or half. Unspoken school is not only useless, but also harmful. At this point, it is not as good as a book without a book, as Mencius called it (“Mencius”)
