西方人类文化哲学的历史脉络与前景

人类文化哲学是现代西方哲学发展过程中的一个重要转向，它抗衡的是在西方思想史中一直占据着主导地位的、以追求普遍性知识为特征的思辨意识哲学。在人类文化哲学漫长的历史脉络中，维柯、卢梭、赫尔德和卡西尔的哲学转向逐渐废除了认识论作为第一哲学的特权，从而为系统的人类文化哲学的建立奠定了基础。人类文化哲学一开始就具有开放性和包容性，因而也就具有与社会批判理论等其他形态的文化哲学相互整合的潜势。而在当代全球化的语境之下，它则呈现出促进文化哲学诸形态一体化的发展态势。

Philosophy of Human Culture in the West: Its History and Perspective

The human cultural philosophy marks an important turn in the development of modern western philosophy as it contended with the ideological philosophy that dominated the western intellectual history and pursued universal knowledge. Vico, Herder, Rousseau and Ca~sirer have respectively advocated it because it annulled the privileged status of epistemology as First Philosophy and paved the way for a systematic philosophy of human cultural. The philosophy was born with open-mindedness and tolerance, and thus the integration between it and the critical theory of society becomes possible. Under the context of contemporary globalization, it will have such a developmental trend as to contrihute to the integration of all forms of cultural philosophy.
