摘要

在「言意之辨」的討論中，玄學家從中理出「辨名析理」及「得意忘言」二法，以求改革兩漢經學之流弊，進而建構學說體系。而其中最引人注目者，當屬王弼之言意觀。王弼不僅表達對言、象、意的觀點，更提出「辨名析理」及「得意忘言」的玄學方法，並將其運用於經典注疏之中，更成為後來玄學家所普遍接受和運用。王弼之言意觀重要若是，本文將重點討論三部分：首先，探討「言」、「象」、「意」的可能意涵與關係；其次，分從「言意之辨」及玄學方法兩大視角觀察王弼之言意觀；最後，綜述王弼言意觀的意義與影響，並兼論其可能限制。

In the discussion about the ”distinction between speech and meaning,” the metaphysicians sorted out the two methods-”analyses and distinctions” along with ”obtaining meaning while forgetting speech”-to address the problems with Confucian Classics of the Han Dynasties and in turn to construct a doctrinal system. Among the metaphysicians' ideas, the most notable one is definitely Wang Bi's concept of speech and meaning. Wang not only expressed his ideas about speech, image, and meaning, but also proposed the metaphysical methods of ”analyses and distinctions” along with ”obtaining meaning while forgetting speech”; he applied these methods to his commentaries of Confucian Classics, which were generally accepted and utilized by later metaphysicians. In view of the importance of Wang Bi's concept of speech and meaning, this paper is to discuss three main sections: first, inquiring the possible implications of speech, image and meaning as well as the relationships between them; second, reviewing Wang Bi's concept of speech and meaning by means of the ”distinction between speech and meaning” along with the two perspectives of metaphysical methodology; and finally, making a general statement about the significance and influence of Wang's concept of speech and meaning and discussing its possible limits.
