摘要
理雅各作为儒学研究者、翻译家和国际儒学传播者,就其一生的学术成就和影响来讲,是名副其实的。由于理雅各是一个虔诚的基督徒,对于孔子及其儒学,其态度和认识在大半生的时间里是十分矛盾的,但他最终还是成为一个几乎拥有双重信仰的人—基督徒和儒者。理雅各的巨功伟业,是可谓倾其一生心血的《中国经典》和《中国圣书》,其中囊括了《诗经》《易经》《论语》等10部儒学典籍,以及老子的《道德经》(《道德经》不在本文讨论范围)。《中国经典》和《中国圣书》自产生之日起,近一个半世纪以来,其影响日益深远,不可估量。但是,客观地来看,囿于诸多局限,理雅各对儒学的理解和观点,有许多地方与先秦儒学的原旨不甚吻合,因此,从儒学对外传播的立场来看,理雅各的儒学研究与翻译,很值得探讨。
James Legge(1815—1897), as a researcher on Confucianism, translator of Confucian texts and international Confucian transmitter, deserves his reputation in terms of his academic achievements and influence. Due to his being a Christian, he was almost all through his life ambivalent in his attitude towards and understanding of Confucianism. However, he was at last a double believer, a Christian and a Confucian. Legge's great achievements consist in his The Chinese Classics and The Sacred Book of China which includes 10 classics such as The Shi King, The Yi King, The Analects and others, as well as The Texts of Taoism(not included in this discussion). The Chinese Classics and The Sacred Book of China have exerted increasingly far and wide impact since their publication. But, if viewed objectively, restrained by more than one element, Legge's understanding and view of Confucianism are not in conformity to the pre-Qin Confucianism in many aspects. And therefore, from the perspective of transmission of Confucianism, his research and translation remain quite open to discussion.
