中国哲学的四个传统及其现代价值

中国哲学在两千多年的中华文明发展历程中逐渐形成4种传统:自然意识、民本意识、忧患意识、天下主义。自然意识是指人与自然和谐共存，人与自然为一体；民本意识是指注重人民的生存与发展，把民意看成是政权合法性的基础；忧患意识是指人类命运的终极关怀以及个体自觉承担淑人拯世之责任；天下主义是指破除宗教、国家的界限，针对全天下而发表思想文化原理，以建立普适天下的世界和平与秩序、提高全人类的文明教养为自己的责任。这4个传统具有鲜明的中国特色，能够成为中国特色社会主义建设的哲学基础和文化支撑，必将在中国现代化建设中持续发挥积极作用，而且这4种传统本身也将在经济社会文化发展中创新转化，有助于当代中国自身话语体系建设，有助于形成中国精神与中国力量，为当代中国价值观建设作出重要贡献。

Four traditions in Chinese philosophy and their contemporary value

During two thousand years development of Chinese civilization, four traditions have been gradually formed ： natural consciousness, people-oriented consciousness, suffering consciousness, and globalism. Natural consciousness refers to the harmonious coexistence of human and the nature, which are an organic whole; people-oriented consciousness refers to the emphasis of survival and development of human, in which people-oriented consciousness is the foundation of regime legitimacy; suffering consciousness refers to the ultimate concern of human fate and individual consciousness of taking the respon- sibility of educating people and heal the world; globalism refers to break the boundaries of religion and nation, announce principle of ideology and culture to the whole world, and take the responsibility of creating a universal peace and order and improving the civilization of mankind. As these four traditions em- bodied distinct Chinese characteristics, they can become the philosophical foundation and cultural support in the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which will probably continue to play an active role in China＇s modernization. Moreover, these four traditions themselves will also be transformed in the development of economy, society and culture, which is helpful to the construction of discourse system in contemporary China and the formation of Chinese spirit and Chinese power. It will make great contribution to the construction of contemporary Chinese values.
