本文「從劉蕺山的經典詮釋論其思想型態之歸屬」，在於通過探討劉蕺山對《易傳》、《中庸》、《大學》、《論語》、《孟子》等經典的詮釋，對其思想體系作一定位。針對劉蕺山之思想型態，當代中國哲學家牟宗三先生把其定位為「以心著性」型態，並把劉蕺山與南宋理學家胡五峰，區分為有別於陸、王心學及程（伊川）朱理學的「五峰、蕺山系」。然而，牟先生此說卻受到許多的質疑，即主要是把蕺山思想歸於心學，或是陽明學極度的發展，這樣的觀點是受其弟子黃梨洲的「內在一元論」傾向的影響。通過對蕺山的經典詮釋進行研究，本文企圖以慎獨論來統攝其對各經典的解釋，即可證明他仍是重於儒家哲學客觀的性天層面，即挺立性體、獨體、道體而言，故其思想仍符合於「以心著性」的型態。

This paper “The Proper Type of Liu Jishan's（劉蕺山）Thought As Seen from His Classics Interpretation” researches Liu Jishan's Classics interpretations on Confucian Analects, Mencius , Doctrine of the Mean, Book of Changes and Great Learning. Throughout Liu Jishan's Classics interpretation, we can thus position Liu Jishan's philosophical thought among all philosophers. Modern Chinese philosopher Mou Zhongshan（牟宗三） categorized Liu Jishan's philosophy as “Revealing Human Nature with Heart”（以心著性）; he also discriminate the theories of Hu Hong（胡宏）and Liu Jishan from Neo-Confucianism philosophy. Many speculate Mou Zhongshan’s viewpoints. According to Liu Jishan's student Huang Zhongxi ’ s （黃宗羲）opinion, Liu’s core thought would be the “ Philosophy of Mind”（心學）.Throughout Liu Jishan's Classics Interpretation, this paper will integrate all of Liu’s expositions of Confucian Classics into his theory of “Keeping Vigilance In Solitude” （慎獨）. Therefore we manifest the importance of Human Nature and Heaven in Liu Jishan’s philosophy and that it is coherent with “Revealing Human Nature with Heart” （以心著性）.
