神秘主义:一种哲学的“境界”和“方法”——论冯友兰对神秘主义的诠解

人们通常将冯友兰哲学视为一种具有新实在论特征的理性主义形态。然而,冯友兰哲学在追求严密清晰的逻辑分析的同时,“神秘主义”也是一条一以贯之的经线。冯友兰将神秘主义理解为一种哲学的“境界”和“方法”,并主张“只有理性主义和神秘主义的统一才能造成与整个未来世界相称的哲学”。这种对神秘主义的独特诠解,斫出了一条理性主义与非理性主义、“正的方法”与“负的方法”有机统一的新路径,从而为建构当代中国形上学的新范式奠定了基础。

On Feng You-lan's Interpretation of Mysticism

People usually regard Feng You-lan’s philosophy as a rationalistic patern with new realistic character. However, while pursuing close and clear logical analysis, Feng You-lan’s philosophy was also guided by mysticism throughout its development. Feng You-lan looked upon mysticism as a philosophical “realm” and “method”, and maintained that “only by integrating rationalism with mysticism can we create the philosophy which can match the future world”. This unique interpretation of mysticism opened up a new way which organically united rationalism and non-rationalism, “positive method” and “negative method”, thus establishing solid foundation for building a new pattern of contemporary Chinese metaphysics.
