关于思想家嵇康

在中古玄学清谈的热门话题中，“养生”与“声无哀乐”这两个题目是由嵇康率先提出来的。《养生论》全面论述了嵇康的人生哲学，其不过问政治、坚决不肯出仕等可以由此得到解释，此论中关于养生长寿之道的意见至今仍有相当大的影响。《声无哀乐论》高度重视欣赏者的主体性，将传统观念加在纯音乐上的教化负担予以剥离，批评前人有关音声接受方面的某些记载乃是故神其说，并明确指出讨论问题应当首先明其“自然之理”，对经典中的“俗儒妄记”应当用清明的理性加以分析而不能迷信，表现了一位大思想家的丰采。

Ji Kang as a Thinker

In medieval China metaphysical discussions flourished, of which two hot topics were first put forward by Ji Kang. One is how to maintain good health and the other is how to appreciate music. In Yang Sheng Lun （On Health）, a piece still influential today, Ji Kang expoundes comprehensively his philosophy of life, which can accotmt for his indifference to politics and refusal of officialdom. In Sheng Wu Ai Le Lun （Music without Sorrow and Happiness）, Ji Kang criticises his predecessors＇ misuse of pure music as a means of education by attaching great importance to the role of subjectivity. He stresses further that one should make clear of the ＂reason of nature＂ in the first place and should not worship blindly any misinterpretations of classics but analyze them in the light of one＇s lucid rationality. All these arguments have shown a great thinker in Ji Kang.
