从儒家"德"论看中国哲学的现代转化

近现代以来的“西学东渐”,使中国哲学原有的基本语汇和话语诠释谱系逐渐遁出了人们的思考空间,遂使中国哲学研究“以西释中”成为主流。于是,近年来产生了“中国哲学合法性”的系列讨论,这些讨论基本围绕着“重新诠释传统”这一理路展开的,这恰恰未能摆脱近百年来形成的“重知不重行”的学术传统,故而需要反省与突破。儒家“德”论的奥旨可以揭示出中国哲学的为学路径:不能只是泥滞于言语,耽著于文字概念;而要发明各人自性所具之性德,感发学人反求诸己、拳拳服膺、实有诸己,然后制礼作乐、化成天下。从而指示出:中国哲学的现代转化目前所面临的要务不在阐释,而在践行。

On the Chinese Philosophy's Modernization——from the point view of the connotation of Morality in Confucianism

Western culture has been progressively spreading to the East for more than a hundred years,which made the systematically tradional terminology of Chinese philosophy gradually vanishing,therefore the popular way of researching Chinese thought in China has come to be complaining the East from the Western point of view.And now it is explanation not action that has come to be the academic tradition.Recently scholars are talking about the problem of "the legitimacy of Chinese philosophy".However,almost all the discussions were still focused on how to explain the Chinese classic thought theoretically.These deeds should be taken leave to doubt now.The discovering of the connotation of Morality in Confucianism can reveal the appropriate way of comprehending Chinese philosophy.This work can also point out that the real value of Chinese philosophy can not be limited into words.Truth is not the words but the gived morality of man,so the only way to truth is to recover it in oneself continuously and only in this way the real harmonious society can be achieved.It also indicates that only right action can lead to precise exlanation,and the most important of all of the Chinese philosophy's modernization presently lies more in action than in explanation.
