摘要
晚明是評點風氣盛行的時代，文人受到宋元以來講求心學、理學的影響，評點作品亦反映出個人之體悟，從中寄託個人情感；「重文章之美，不重文字訓詁」成為晚明文人的習尚，而《詩經》評點在晚明也成為一股熱潮，鍾惺居處於這樣的時代，其評點作品亦受大環境所影響。明代的經學地位一般在歷史上的評價不高，乃因學者多半以「純經學」的眼光視之，而忽略了當時品評所展現出來的藝術成就，清代學者對鍾惺的貶抑尤甚，更以「詩妖」稱之，這種尊經的衛道立場，直到民國以後興起公安、竟陵的研究熱潮才被扭轉過來。本文主要從鍾惺〈詩論〉中的核心觀點，輔以國家圖書館藏的《鍾惺評點詩經》來探察其《詩經》評點，主要的內容包括探討鍾惺《詩經》評點對「經學」權威的反動，〈詩論〉的完成時代背景及版本、年代的考察，並闡述成書年代的考察是否真具實質意義。另外也要借用西方詮釋學的概念來檢視鍾惺的〈詩論〉見解，並說明其影響及評價。
