康德和孔子认识论之比较

On Comparison of Epistemology by Kant and Confucius

中西方哲学的差异不在于哲学结论本身,而在于得出结论的方法和对结论的表述上。通过对康德的认识论命题“先天综合判断”与孔子的认识论命题“生而知之”、“学而知之”的比较可证明这一观点。从思维方式差异的对比上,也可为“中国的思想和科学开始领先于西方而最后又为西方所反超”这一学术公案寻找到一定的答案。

The differences between Chinese and Western philosophies do not lie in the conclusion proper, but in the methodology for coming to a conclusion and the statement of the conclusion. By comparing the epistemological proposition of ＂Congenital Comprehensive Judgment＂ by Kant and that of ＂Born with Knowledge＂ and ＂Learn to Get Knowledge＂ by Confucius, this opinion can be proved. By comparison of the differences in thinking modes, answers can be found, to some extent, for ＂Why Chinese ideology and science started earlier but exceeded by the West？＂
