论玄奘因明成就与文化自信——与沈剑英、孙中原、傅光全商榷

Cultural Confidence and Xuanzang’s Achievements in Hetuvidyā:A Discussion with Shen Jianying,Sun Zhongyuan and Fu Guangquan

玄奘因明的伟大成就应向国内外广而告之。它是汉传因明具有文化自信的根源,是汉传因明立足于世界因明之林的雄厚资本。当代因明领域诸多重大理论的争论都与未搞清因明学科的性质有关。玄奘开创的汉传因明提示,因明学科中的逻辑是论辩逻辑。"同、异品除宗有法"和"同、异喻体除宗以外"是玄奘弘扬因明的重要遗训。"同、异品除宗有法"是打开陈那因明体系大门的钥匙。这把钥匙可以帮助我们找到印度陈那因明逻辑体系之标准答案,可以正确总结百年来国内外因明研究之得失。《中国社会科学评价》2020年第3期特设因明专栏,对国内因明研究有重大推动作用,但还应围绕百年汉传因明研究的重大课题"玄奘因明成就与文化自信"作深入探讨。

Xuanzang’s great achievements in hetuvidyā(Ch.yinming)still need to be widely publicized at home and abroad.The Chinese tradition of hetuvidyāis a source of cultural confidence;it provides ample capital for China to establish itself in the ranks of world studies of Indian classical logic.Many of the major theoretical debates in the field today are related to a failure to understand the nature of the discipline.The Chinese school of hetuvidyā,pioneered by Xuanzang,suggests that the logic of the discipline is polemical.The major legacy of Xuanzang’s work is"the exclusion of the subject from the realm of both the similar and dissimilar instances"and"the exclusion of the subject from the positive and negative example-statements."This last statement is the key to Dignāga’s theory of hetuvidyā;a key that can help us to find the benchmark answer to the logic of Dignāga’s theory and can correctly summarize the gains and losses of domestic and foreign research on the subject over the past century.In Issue no.3,2020,China Social Science Review organized a special issue on hetuvidyā,which was a major contribution to the study of hetuvidyāin China.But the important topic of cultural confidence and Xuanzang’s hetuvidyāachievements still deserves in-depth study.
