论近代中国伦理学自主知识体系的初步建构

On the Preliminary Construction of an Autonomous Knowledge System of Modern Ethics

中华文明作为一种伦理型文明,对伦理道德问题的思考历史久远,却并未形成边界明晰、研究对象确定的知识论传统。知识体系的建构依托于学科体系、学术体系及话语体系的发展,中国严格意义上的伦理学自主知识体系是在近代经世致用和西学东渐的风习中逐渐探索起步的。一方面,中国传统的学科划分体例和标准在近代遭到解构;另一方面,在“照着说”的背景下,学界也开始探索中国伦理学自主知识体系的构建。近代中国伦理学在中西、古今之辨的场域中艰难地寻找自己的定位,尽管难免煮成“夹生饭”,但仍然实际地迈开了“道德革命”的步伐。

As an ethical civilization,Chinese civilization has a long history of thinking about ethical and moral issues,but it has not formed an epistemological tradition with clear boundaries and definite research objects.The construction of knowledge system depends on the development of discipline system,academic system and discourse system.The strict independent knowledge system of ethics in China was gradually explored in the modern economic and social application and the trend of Western learning spreading to the East.On the one hand,the traditional Chinese style and standards of discipline division have been deconstructed in modern times.On the other hand,under the background of“following”,the academic community has also begun to explore the construction of independent knowledge system of Chinese ethics.Modern Chinese ethics struggled to find its own position in the field of distinguishing between China and the West,ancient and modern.Although it is hard to avoid being regarded as an“incomplete work”,still it takes a step of“moral revolution”practically.
