人性论是中国古代哲学长期争论不定的问题。张载在熟读儒家经典的基础上,
总结了传统的性善论、性恶论、性无善无恶论、性有善有恶论的人性论思想,批
判地吸收了佛道哲学思想,提出了“虚气相即”的宇宙论与本体论并建的哲学体
系,重建了儒学天道本体,肯定了现实世界的实存性,并为人们展示了人生内在
而高远的道德本体,批判了佛老的人生观,创造性地提出了天地之性与气质之性
合一的人性论思想。
张载继承了中国哲学的气论哲学思想,提出了气化宇宙生成论,用气的真实
无妄和聚散变化批判了佛道二教否定人生真实性,继而分别追求寂灭与长生的人
性论。他不守陈规,勇于创新,赋予了太虚宇宙本原的意义,一改汉唐经学“知
人而不知天”,缺乏道德本体理论兴趣的局面,为儒学重建了道德形上本体。他提
出了“太和本体论”思想,既肯定了现实世界的真实性与合理性,又为人生指出
了大中至正之道。
张载在认识论上,主张用德性之知去统率引导闻见之知,同时用闻见之知来
促进德性之知,反对局限于闻见之知。人通过德性之知就能够体验到自身具有的
天地之性,通过持续不断的努力,尽性成性,就会成为贤人、圣人。在道德实践
工夫上,张载主张立志养气,养成浩然至大至刚之气,才能在道德实践中刚决有
力地履行义务。张载为我们描绘了人生的最高境界——“民胞物与”的“天亲合
一”的人生理想,同时自己努力按照周礼处理社会事务,体现了其实学家的风范。
张载的人性论是对中国古代人性论的总结与创造,同时又深深影响了后代的
二程、朱熹、王船山,在人性论发展史上起到承前启后的作用。
