谈西田伦理学中的东西方文化因子

西田几多郎的伦理学,既吸纳了以格林为代表的西方新黑格尔主义伦理学中的意志、行为、至善等基本概念,又与东方的佛教、儒家的阳明学和日本的武士道有明显的一脉相承关系。因此,从伦理学角度研读西田几多郎对东西方文化的吸收与取舍,有助于我们解读近代日本思想界对待西方文化和东方传统的独特方式。实际上,西田在借用西方伦理学概念论述其伦理学基本命题之后,在最终构筑伦理学时,仍要依据东方式思维。在论述国家主权的问题上,西田最终回到了日本式思维方式上来,即不是把对象当作理来崇敬,而是把它当作神来信仰。西田伦理学与其说是“世界主义”的,不如说是国家主义的。

On the Cultural Genes of East and West in the Nixidayikutalou'''' Ethics

Nixidayikutalou not only absorbed the basic concept of the western new Hegelian Doctrine ethics which Thomas Hill Green was a representa tive personage,such as will,behavior,perfect,etc in his ethics works,but also had come down in an obviously continuous line with the east Buddhism,the Yangming of the Confucianism and the bushido of Japan.Therefore,it would contribute to our understanding why the Japanese thinking circles treat the east tradition and the western culture with a special way in modern Japan,when we study what Nixidayikutalou had absorbed and rejected the east and west culture in his ethics.It would rather be the ethics of Nixida is the nationalism than the cosmopolitanism.
