论中西方“天人合一”思想的本质区别

中西方关于＂天人合一＂的思想具有本质区别：中国的＂天＂是形上层面的＂德性之天＂,西方的＂天＂是经验世界中的＂自然之天;＂中国的＂人＂是整体主义环境下的强调＂天（道）＂的人,西方的＂人＂是个体主义环境下的强调人类自身发展的人;达到＂天人合一＂的途径中国是内省式的,从正心开始,而西方是外求的,从研究自然开始。二者应当保持和谐的张力：在形上的超验层面应当具有传统中国＂天人合一＂的信仰,而在经验世界里应当注重＂人与自然（天）的和谐共存＂。

Essential Differences of Integration of Human and Nature between the West and China

The theory of Integration of Human and Nature between the West and China are completely different because nature of Chinese traditional culture is about ethics and metaphysics,on the contrary,nature of the western traditional culture is about logos of experiential world.Human of Chinese traditional culture lives in society of individualism,and of the west in holism.The way to be the integration of human and nature of China is introspection and starts from study of soul and the west is from study of nature.Today we need the theory of Human-nature Integration of China to improve ethics and the west to improve ecological environment protection.
