儒家主張仁義為名教的核心價值，在道家卻有「絕仁棄義」之批判，立場迴異。若欲調和儒道、消解自然與名教的衝突，如何通切地詮釋「仁義」，實為玄學家不能迴避的課題。本文先分別探討王弼與郭象的仁義觀與本體、人性、名教的關係，繼而解析其仁義概念的內涵，最後再就兩家的仁義觀進行綜合比較與評述。

While Confucianism regarded benevolence and righteousness as the essence of Confucian Ethical Codes, Daoism claimed ”abandon benevolence and discard righteousness.” In order to dissolve the conflict between Confucianism and Daoism, nature and Confucian Ethical Codes, Neo-Daoists need to find a proper approach to interpret the concept ”benevolence and righteousness.” In the first place, this paper studies Wang Bi and Guo Xiang's benevolence and righteousness theory separately. First, inquire their thoughts about the relationships between ”benevolence and righteousness” and substance, human nature, and Confucian Ethical Codes. Second, analyze their definitions of ”benevolence and righteousness.” In the end, this paper makes a comparative study of Wang Bi and Guo Xiang's benevolence and righteousness theory.
