“形而上学”及其在文化重建中的意义

A Survey on Metaphysics and its Meaning during the Period of Culture Reconstruction

自然科学及其产生的现代技术对于世界的影响日益增大,有人以为科技是当代世界的绝对主宰,继而哲学尤其是哲学中的“形而上学”遂被视为过时或甚至根本无意义,致使转型期的国人失去了人之为人的“形而上学”之根。事实上,“形而上学”在文化重建中的意义,不仅表现为它能够填补传统文化形上关怀缺失的真空进而为文化重建奠基,而且能够弥补传统文化思维方式的缺陷,孕育现代、科学的思维方式。

The“metaphysics” means a philosophy tradition that originated from Ancient Greece and has been continuing until now. The most oldest knowledge system in our world should be the“metaphysics”. However, because of the influence of natural science and modern technology enlarging, some people think the natural science and the technology are dominating our contemporary world absolutely. And then, the philosophy , particularly the “metaphysics”is regarded behind the times or nonsense. With this background development, countrymen during the period of transformation also pursue the so-called anti-metaphysics current blindly, which has made them lose the root of the “metaphysics” that makes human being be themselves. Lack of the “metaphysics ”results in an unobvious result of Chinese culture reconstruction.
