薛瑄与王阳明分别是明代朱、陆学说的代表,他们的思想体系不同是明显的。元明之际,理学的发展已经到了转型时期,薛瑄的复性与王阳明的致良知就不同程度地反映了学术的沉淀与变迁。以前我们过多关注二人的不同,不免忽视了他们的相似性。具体而言,薛瑄与王阳明学说的相似之处主要是:都有各自的为学宗旨,都强调其宗旨是自然使然,都重视实践,都有自己的成圣途径等。
It' s obvious that XUE Xuan and WANG Yang-ming, the respective representatives of doctrines advocated by ZHU Xi and LU Jiu-yuan in Ming Dynasty, belong to different ideological systems. At the turning point between Yuan and Ming Dynasty, Li Xue(doctrines of Taoism that governs the nature, the society and human beings)was in transformation and its academic changes and sediment largely manifest in WANG Yang-ming' s "practice of conscience" and XUE Xuan' s "return to human nature". The previous research has paid much attention to their differences but neglected their similarities, such as purpose of academic research, born characteristics, emphasis of practice, way to become a sage, etc.
