《人物志》与政治的德性向度

作为刘劭的后期著述，《人物志》标志着魏初政治理论开始发生转变。虽然《人物志》的政治理论是由才性论思想家的质疑所促成，但刘劭在回应后者的过程中开启了新的理论视阈。在探讨圣人的德性与选官标准的过程中，《人物志》一方面揭示了德性的实质与类型，另一方面也从功能、所产生的效果以及天性等多重向度上为德性原则提供有效性论证。尽管《人物志》的德性理论在很大程度上被限定在政治领域，然而，它关注圣人、综合儒道的主张却成为随后玄学的主题。

REN WU ZHI AND POLITICS IN THE HORIZON OF VIRTUE

As Liu Shao＇s later period works, Ren Wu Zhi marked the turn of political theory in the early days of Wei. In order to reply the query from Cai Xing theory, Liu Shao created a new way of approaching political problems. Where the criteria of sage and talented persons were concerned, Liu Shao claimed that virtues were the best way for selecting government officials. Although the virtue theory of Ren Wu Zhi mainly concerned the realm of politics, its viewpoints, such as emphasizing sage and synthesizing Confucianism and Daoism, became the subject of Neo-Taoism.
