中西文化智慧起源歧向论——从“四因说”与“四端说”说起（一）

中西文化之分歧、区别,根源在于中西文化智慧起源之方向上,即在智慧原型上是歧向的。西方主智思,以因果律（逻辑理性）贯注于西方文化中,其＂极因＂是上帝;中国主仁心（心性）,以五伦（纲目网络）贯注于中国文化中,其顶峰是＂良心＂。西方逻辑理性文化之严正起点是亚氏＂四因＂说;中国心性文化之范式起点,是孟子＂四端＂说;故西方人,多言＂真理＂;中国人,多言＂道理＂（西方人之学科形态,是＂逻辑结构＂之范畴体系;中国民族的学科形态,是＂纲目网状＂系统）。西方文化面临的危机是＂上帝死了＂;中国文化面临的危机,是失掉了＂良心＂。中西文化互补互动,于方法论上就是借鉴＂他山之石可以攻玉＂。中西文化挽救危机之策略就是互为对方：西方之上帝＂良心＂化,中国之良心＂上帝＂化。一旦＂上帝-良心＂互为对方,呈现出来的中西文化之新形态,便是各自的新活力、新生命。这正如人类大脑左半球与右半球功能相互代偿一样。
