对中国实学的哲学诠释

实学,一方面是儒家实用理性的具体体现,它贯穿于儒家文化的始终,乃至于泛指的实学即儒学;另一方面,它又是在特定历史时期产生的儒家文化的反思、批判形式,是作为社会新思潮消解儒学的贵族性、经院性而成为庶民文化的“革命”因素。正是这一因素使我们今天指称的实学实际上被界定在这一特指意义上了。

Philosophical Explanation of Real Learning in China

Real Learning as a way to apply Confucianism to idealist practice can always be found in Confucian culture on one hand so that people often regard it the same thing as Confucianism; on the other hand, it is a way of reflecting and criticizing Confucian culture and a ＂revolutionary＂ factor which made Confucianism a culture for common people instead of a privilege only for nobles and scholars. Therefore, Real Learning is defined as the driving forcing of the revolution of Confucianism.
