中国古代宇宙论的身体性

发端于《易经》的原本意义上的中国古代的宇宙论,既与西方传统的“意识性”哲学不同,也与那些业已“对根的遗忘”的晚出的中国哲学(如“理学”、“心学”)相异,其实质上是一种旗帜鲜明的根于身体的宇宙论理论。这种宇宙论的身体性不仅表现在中国古人以一种借用显体的方式把整个宇宙视作是人身体的化身,不仅表现在中国古人通过一种身体的发生学把男女交感视作是宇宙的“原发生命机制”,而且还表现在其对作为宇宙之道的“时”的概念的一种不无独特的机体主义的理解上。显然,这一中国古代宇宙论哲学中的身体性思想的揭示,对于我们来说具有不容低估的理论和现实意义,因为它可被目为是对人类“生活世界”的更为彻底的还原,并且同时也代表了对以“以身为殉”为取向的现代主义的一种最早的批判。

The Body Quality of the Ancient Chinese Cosmology

The earliest Chinese cosmology which derived from Yi Jing is not the same philosophy as the western traditional "consciousness" is and it is also different from those later "root-forgotten" Chinese philosophies(eg."Li Xue","Xin Xue").It is substantively a kind of theory about cosmology based on the body distinctly.The body quality of this cosmology not only shows that the ancient Chinese people regarded the whole universe as an embodiment of the human body by revealing thing-in-itself through its function,but also displays that the ancient Chinese people considered the interaction between man and woman as the primal life mechanism of the universe via occurrence of the body.Meanwhile,it also manifests a particular organism understanding of the "Time" which is the concept of Tao in the universe.Obviously,the theoretical and practical significance of revealing an ideology about the body quality of the ancient Chinese cosmology cannot be underestimated by us since it can be regarded as a more thorough reversion of the human beings "Life World";moreover,it also represents the earliest criticism on modernism whose tendency is to sacrifice the body for gaining greater value.
