教化之道 一以贯之——李景林《教化儒学续说》读后

The Way of Transformative Education Is Connected by One: After Reading Li Jinglin’s Further Explanation of Educational Confucianism

哲学作为一种与人之实存密切相关的学问,本即以个性化的方式表示普遍性的理念,因此李景林先生多年来一直主张儒学应坚持自身作为哲学或形上学的研究方向,以期从传统经典之内在生命整体性及连续性方面建构真正属于当代中国的哲学形态,重塑中华文化血脉的主体意识。不同于以往的中国哲学著作,李景林先生新著《教化儒学续说》并非以哲学史或经典阐释为中心。其所反复致意者,一则是要对当今时代最核心、最尖锐的信仰建构及文化焦虑问题予以哲学回应,以提供思想方案与实践法门;二则强调中国哲学应树立独特的方法论自觉,以此破除一切对中国哲学合法性的质疑。

As a kind of knowledge closely related to the existence of human beings,philosophy uses a personalized style to express universal concepts.Therefore,for many years,Li Jinglin has continuously advocated that Confucianism should adhere to itself as the research direction of philosophy or metaphysics,in order to construct from the integral and consistent aspects inherent in the traditional classics a philosophical form that truly belongs to contemporary China,and reshape the subject consciousness of Chinese culture.Different from previous works of Chinese philosophy,Li Jinglins new book Further Explanation of Educational Confucianism(Jiaohua Ruxue xushuo教化儒学续说)does not focus on the history of philosophy or the interpretation of the classics.What it repeatedly devotes its attention to is first,to give a philosophical response to the most central and most acute problems of belief construction and the cultural anxiety of our current era by providing a blueprint for thought and a means for practice;and second,to emphasize that Chinese philosophy should establish a unique methodological consciousness,using this to get rid of all doubts about the legitimacy of Chinese philosophy.
