中国哲学“气”范畴的现代认识

古代文献中的“气”主要有三种涵义 :气态物质之气 ,生化之本之气 ,符号—关系模型之气。生化之本之气是以主客相融的方式 ,通过心灵“体验”对世界的发现。因此 ,用以主客对立的方式建立起来的科学方法 ,不能证明“气”的真实性或虚假性。最有力的办法 ,是认真按照主客相融的方式 ,亲自去做一下 ,看到底有没有“气”的存在 ,这是问题的关键。气是无形虚体 ,其作用必定采取无为的形式。无为不是不作为 ,而是不在对立的关系中作为 ,故不可得见。气的作用也就是时间的作用 ,而时间也体现着气。

The Qi of the living root is discovery about world through soul by "experien ce" in host and guest integrating way, so, it cant be proved that Qi is authen ticity or false by the scientific method set up by the way that host and guest s et against. The most effective method is serious according to integrating ways o f host and guest, do in person, to see whether Qi is existence or not finally, t his is a key to the question. It is invisible void body to be Qi, his function m ust take the form of "Wuwei." "Wuwei" doesnt mean as it is literally means "do ing nothing," but doing things not in the relation that is set against, so it ca nt be seen . Qis function is the function of time, and time reflects the Qi.
