胡宏是重要的宋明理學家，其學源自二程，歷來未受到足夠重視，直到牟宗三將之與劉宗周定性為宋明理學的「第三系」（五峰蕺山系），並且認為是北宋周敦頤、張載、程顥三家的嫡傳，此後才願顯其獨特之處。宏之學生張栻(南軒)囗湖鄉學派代表人物，南宋時與朱熹交好，宏之學因而對朱熹參悟中和問題有過重要影響，爾後朱熹作《知言疑義》，更是對胡宏之學頗有議論。本課程將帶領學生，逐章、逐條、逐句研讀《知言》，以期能鍛鍊研讀原典能力，並把握胡宏思想宗旨與思維特點。最後，則研讀朱熹《知言疑義》。

Hu Hong was an important Neo-Confucian scholar of the Song and Ming Dynasties. His studies originated from the Second Cheng Dynasty and had never received enough attention. It was not until Mou Zongsan identified him and Liu Zongzhou as the "third line" of Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism (Wufeng Jishan line) and considered them to be the direct descendants of Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai and Cheng Hao in the Northern Song Dynasty that he was willing to show his uniqueness. Zhang Shi (Nanxuan), a student of Hongzhi, was a representative figure of the Huxiang School. He had a good relationship with Zhu Xi during the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Hongzhi's studies had an important influence on Zhu Xi's understanding of the problem of neutralization. Later, Zhu Xi wrote "Zhiyan Doubi", which was even more controversial about Hu Hongzhi's studies. This course will lead students to study "Zhiyan" chapter by chapter, article by article and sentence by sentence, in order to hone their ability to study the original text and grasp the purpose and thinking characteristics of Hu Hong's thought. Finally, we will study Zhu Xi's "Zhiyan Yiyi".
