本文從社會文化史的角度討論晚明陽明學者的講學教化活動，說明其學說內涵與言說行動中蘊涵的複雜訊息，及其開啟學術多元的契機。文章主要分四部分:首先根據講學記錄，說明講學者宣揚「聖與人同」、「聖學簡易」、反對好高務異、著重日常家庭倫理的文化特色。接著，分別從工夫論、言說活動、和道德表述三個角度，討論蘊涵在講學論述和活動中許多複雜的曲折和弔詭，亦即糾雜在簡易平實、反奇異、重彝倫的講學訊息中，卻有極多元、甚至對反的發展空間。

　　　　　This article discusses Chiang-hsueh activities of Yang-ming scholars and their relationships with Late-Ming society and culture. It investigates the complexity of the scholars' moral discourse and the multiple intellectual developments that arose from their moral instructions. First, I summarize key characteristics of their moral discourse through a detailed description of its promotion of the twin ideas that "the sage is the same as everyone," and "sage learning is simple and easy," and its emphasis on family morals in everyday life, as well as its opposition to the contemporary fashion of pursuing novelty and loftiness. Secondly, by focusing on three aspects of their efforts in moral cultivation, their attitudes toward moral development through speech and discussion, and their ways of moral expressions, I single out paradoxes in their moral messages and contradictions between their words and deeds, with a view to pointing out how diverse possibilities, even contradictory ones, could be derived from their moral cultivation and persuasion.
