天人合意论——对天人和谐的一种大写意式阐释

通常,我们把人与自然万物的和谐哲学概称为"天人合一"。事实上,"天人合一"既不可能,也无必要,因而是一种不恰当的生硬表述。将传统和谐精神表述为"天人合意"再恰当不过。"天人合意"是一种大写意式的表述手法。"天人合意"的和谐哲学旨在说明,"天之意"理应是"人之意"的基础,"人之意"必须合乎"天之意"。必须循天之意。敬畏万有,和谐八方,方能达"天人合意"。"天人合意"表达了人们对万有存在之最佳存在状态和发展趋向的期盼。

On the Same Intention of Human and Nature--A General Expression of Harmony between Nature and Human

Generally, we call the harmony between human and nature "unification". In fact, "Unification between Human and Nature" is impossible and unnecessary. It is an unapt expression. The author considers that traditional harmonious spirit should be entitled "The Same Intention of Human and Nature", which is a general expression about relation between human and nature. The major idea of "The Same Intention of Human and Nature" is that intention of nature should be the basis of that of human. The latter must accord with the former. Those who follow the law of nature will prosper. And those who defy it will perish. "The Same Intention of Human and Nature" expresses that the expectation for the best state and tendency of all beings.
