“中国（古代）有无哲学”的历史考察

近几年来,学界关于“中国(古代)有无哲学”与“中国哲学合法与否”的论争颇为热闹,论者机杼各出,时有高论妙见,可谓仁者见仁,智者见智。本文并不试图对这两个问题本身作出回答,而是打算从历史的纬度重点考察问题的由来,以及先贤为解决此问题所做的努力及其存在的困难。实际上,无论认定中国“有”哲学或者还是“没有”哲学,我们都无法不以西方作为一个参照系,这就是我们当下言说中国有没有“哲学”逃脱不了的“宿命”。

A Historical Investigation of "Whether China in the Ancient Times Had Philosophy or Not"

In recent years,the debate on "whether China in the ancient times had philosophy or not" and "whether the Chinese philosophy is legitimate or not"has become a hot issue in the academic field.Scholars put forward their own views about these two questions.Some are impressively remarkable,and reveal their insight into the issues.This article does not try to answer these questions,but intends to investigate the origin of these questions,the great efforts made by older generations for solving these problems and their dilemma from the historical angle.Actually,whether we consider China had philosophy or not,we must take the western culture as a reference frame.We can say now whether China had philosophy or not cannot escape its "predestination".
