本文以《中說》為考察對象，分別從形式和內容兩個層次，檢視王通的形象摶成，及其儒學思想的核心觀念。首先，本文注意到王通與其門人，透過表演、宣傳、模仿三種方式，極力塑造王通的「聖人」形象。反映在文本上，便是對《論語》乃至《史記‧孔子世家》有關孔門日常情境的「再現」。其次，《中說》仿效《論語》體例，以語錄體的形式呈現王通和其追隨者的言行，這種體例的特色端在內容簡潔，所展露的王通思想樣態，是一種質樸的、簡易的二元思維。本文試圖以其中涉及「君子」、「小人」之別，與「古」、「今」並舉等相關材料，作為剖析王通思維的進路。最後，自王通的中道觀和禮樂觀著手，檢討其儒學思想的兩個重要核心。經由本文探究得知，王通的儒學思想傾向人事面向，聚焦在政治、倫常，務求具體落實於社會，而非高談形上玄理，此影響後世儒者甚深。
