本文主要討論的主題為船山思想與佛學之容攝關係，故研究範圍鎖定於船 山的佛學著作，以及散見其他著作中對於佛學的有關評述。本文擬從探討船山 對於轉化性詮釋方法之使用狀況切入，並觀察此方法之運用，是否能夠解決儒 家以入世為主、佛教以出世為宗的根本性思想差異。船山是否自覺此方法之運 用？而船山思想與唯識系統兩者之間，又具有何種同質性與異質性？兩者是緊 張或和諧關係？是否具有不可共量性？最後討論轉化性詮釋方法之意義，分別 從「理論應用層面」與「歷史實際層面」討論。本文試著從船山對於唯識思想 的詮釋脈絡中，探究其以儒家思想轉化性詮釋唯識思想之處，並形構其詮釋系 統之核心及展現，冀能架構船山轉化性詮釋系統，證明其在對佛教思想進行詮 釋工作時，實具有一方法與脈絡性，藉此使讀者閱讀船山詮釋佛、道二家之著 作時，能對其轉化性詮釋有一先備知識，此為本文撰寫意義與價值所在。
