Tanjakusui - Tanjakusui

A Chinese thinker in the mid-Ming dynasty. His pen name was Yuanming and his pen name was Ganquan. He was from Zengcheng County, Guangdong Province. He was a disciple of Chen Baisha (Kenzhang). Later, he met Wang Yangming (Shuren) and developed a lifelong friendship. Both left Zhu Xi school and followed the path of Shingaku. During Zhan Ruoshui's lifetime, he had a great influence and was said to have divided the world with Wang Yangming. However, his practical philosophy of "recognizing the principles of heaven wherever you go" did not have the destructive power against established values ​​as Wang Yangming's philosophy of conscience and mind, and was not able to bring about great new fortunes. In addition, although the school produced many outstanding figures, in terms of ideological content, it was so concerned about the possibility of the paradox of the theory of conscience that, while it remained in the philosophy of Shingaku, it became too close to Neo-Confucianism and lost its originality as a school.

中国、明(みん)代中期の思想家。字(あざな)は元明、号は甘泉(かんせん)。広東(カントン)省増城県の人。陳白沙(ちんはくさ)（献章）の門人。のちに王陽明（守仁(しゅじん)）と邂逅(かいこう)して終生の友情を温め、ともに朱子学を離れて心学路線を歩んだ。湛若水の在世当時は、影響力は大きく、王陽明と天下を二分したと評価された。しかし、彼の「随処体認天理」の実践哲学は、王陽明の良知心学ほどには、既成の価値観に対する破壊力をもたなかったため、新運を大きく開くことはできなかった。加えて、その門流に傑物を輩出しながらも、思想内容としては、良知心学の背理可能性を危惧(きぐ)するあまり、心学に踏みとどまりながらも、朱子学に極度に接近し、学派としての独自性を失っていった。主著に『心性図説』『遵道録』がある。
