【摘要】：郭嵩焘对英国殖民秩序的看法与他的天理观有内在关联。作为晚清理学复兴的重要人物,郭嵩焘赞同以万物一气论为基础的天理秩序,物与人各有其分,不可逾越。他以此观察世界,认为西方科学与文明均为阳气的发舒,英国的殖民活动则体现了仁养之德,符合天道。因此殖民地人民如同英国国内的下层阶级,只是被动的教养对象。这些观点体现了以天理等级制为基础的中华主义与19世纪殖民论的相通之处,并多少为郭嵩焘的清流批评者所共享。二者世界观的类似与对西方态度的不同,则提示了晚清理学回应西方思想挑战的可能性与限度。
[Abstract]:Guo Songtao's view of the British colonial order was intrinsically related to his view of nature. As an important figure in the revival of Neo-Confucianism in the late Qing Dynasty, Guo Songtao agreed with the natural order based on the theory of one breath of all things, and that things and people had their own parts. He observed the world in such a way that Western science and civilization were both positive, and that British colonization embodied benevolence and virtue in keeping with Heaven. Therefore, the colonial people were like the lower classes of Britain. Only passive upbringing. These views reflect the similarities between Sinicism based on the hierarchy of Heaven and the colonial theory in 19th century. The similarity between the world outlook of Guo Songtao and his attitude to the West suggests the possibility and limitation of Neo-Confucianism in responding to the challenge of Western thought in the late Qing Dynasty.
