邵雍是一卓越的思想家，而身為「儒」者，他根據所建構的觀物哲學，將其一生所經歷的許多現實與精神的苦難，其個人的生命困境，對生命價值的思考，置放於宇宙規律當中，冶煉出與苦難共生，進而超越人世哀樂的安樂哲學，為人類歷史以及人生存在諸命題提出了系統詮釋。本文以北宋的歷史場域為背景，根據邵雍的生命史軸線，將其學思歷程分作青壯時期與安樂窩時期，由其生平經歷對照思想轉折，呈現其感性生命的機敏與理性生命的開展，論述其超越生命困頓、完成安樂哲學的過程與進境，展現其哲學對個人生命、乃至社會全體可能具有的療癒效能。儒家對人生苦難有積極詮釋，鼓勵人面對苦難以鍛鍊心志；邵雍哲學的循理知命，則是與人生苦難共生，進而超越苦難，是對人生苦難的另一種積極回應。「安樂」是安於苦難而樂於知道循理，超越人生的貧賤與夭亡的威脅，由知道體道中感受到「真樂」。此邵雍生命哲學的特點。

By his philosophical practice of the “observation of things” (guan wu), Shao Yong was able to pass through great practical and emotional difficulties, including his poverty and his questions about the value of life. Viewing these problems from a cosmological viewpoint, he was able to work out a strategy for coexisting with the suffering in life, develop a philosophy of repose and joy (an le), and thereby propose a systematic explanation for human history and the issues of human existence. According to the major developments of his life, I divide the development of his thought in to a youthful period and his mature period, when he had his Retreat of Repose and Joy (an le wo). I also discuss the ways in which he overcame the difficult circumstances of his life and moved towards developing a philosophy of repose and joy, showing how his philosophy can be a means for healing not only the individual, but society at large. Shao Yong’s philosophy is an effort to follow principles, to understand fate, and to overcome suffering by learning to live with it; “repose and joy” is coming to peace with suffering and finding joy in knowing the Dao and following Principle. By doing so, one can overcome the fear of poverty and untimely death; and it is by knowing and embodying the Dao that one can experience true joy.
