致良知与幸福感

中国传统文化与现代心理学研究呈现融合的趋势，以往的研究多从“致良知”的思想内涵、道德修养价值等方面进行探讨。然而，随着现代认知神经科学的发展，“致良知”作为一种心理过程，以动态的观点探索“致良知”思想与幸福感之间的内部机制是十分必要的。本文借鉴现代心理学的研究成果，疏理了“致良知”的思想内涵与幸福感精神实质的内在联系；并以此为据，讨论“致良知”思想何以能促进人类的幸福感。这样的探讨，将有可能使阳明心学在新时代焕发出新的光彩。
There is a tendency for Chinese traditional culture and the contemporary psychology to reach anagreement on the understanding of conscience. Previous studies on Wang Yangming’s theory of zhiliangzhi致良知(gaining good knowledge) mainly focused on such aspects as its theoretical content and the cultivationof moral integrity. The contemporary neuropsychology, however, views zhiliangzhi as a psychological processand studies the importance of the internal mechanism between zhiliangzhi and happiness from an interactiveperspective. In this paper, we try to examine the inner connection between zhiliangzhi and happiness byreviewing the research findings in contemporary psychology and accordingly discuss how zhiliangzhi canimprove the sense of happiness. This discussion will make it possible for Yangming School’s theory of mind toshed new light on psychological studies in the new era
