摘要
反省是儒家为己之学中的一项重要精神活动。人之一生经历、人之一天的行为、人之心灵生活、人之当下的一念均成为反省的对象。反省意识固是一种"向后看"的意识,是意识活动反身涉己的行为,但其旨趣却在改变自身因而是面向未来的一种意识,故它在根本上是由一种"向前看"心态定调下的"向后看"意识。基于对未来生命进程的展望、规划而展开的对人生的反省式的回溯意识,与当下生命状况的调整、改变层层缠绕于一起,这是儒家反省意识的基本结构。
Retrospection is an important spiritual practice in the Confucian tradition of self-cultivation, the objects of which fall into the four categories: what one has experienced over one’s lifetime;what one has done in a day;one’s mental activities;a glimpse of one’s current thought. It goes without saying that this sort of retrospective consciousness is a "backward-looking" one, meaning it is the activity of one’s consciousness reflecting upon itself. However, the goal of such retrospection consists in an individual’s self-transformation, which inevitably makes it open up to the future. Fundamentally speaking, Confucian retrospection is in nature a "back-looking" consciousness underpinned by a "forward-looking" mentality. The basic structure of it involves a vision of human life, it is on the basis of a prospect and a plan of future life process that the Confucian retrospective consciousness of life is to be unfolded, which is complicated by being intertwined with the adjustment and changes of current life condition.
