解释学的逻各斯与道的解释学——中西解释学的差异根源

Hermeneutic Logos and Taoist Hermeneutics——The Root of Sino-Western Differences in Hermeneutics

中国的"道"与西方的"逻各斯"是理解中西思想的核心概念,它们之间的差异也导致中西解释学在基本方向上的不同。解释学发源于希腊宗教、犹太教和基督教神学。在西方解释学中总是通向对外在性的目标,对外在对象的理解。西方解释学是以逻各斯为中心。相比较而言,中国的道具有内在性。中国思想的解释更重视个人通过体验的领悟,对经典的解释需要一种追体验的功夫。这也说明对中国思想的哲学体系化的阐释架构往往远离其自身。

China＇s ＂Tao＂ and Western ＂Logos＂ are the keys to the understanding of the Chinese and Western ideas. The differences between the two concepts lead to the Sino - Western differences in the essential approaches to hermeneutics. Hermeneutics originated from Greek religion, Judaism and Christian theology. Western hermeneutics, centered on logos, aims at the understanding of extrinsic goals or targets whereas China＇s Tao tends to be intrinsic. Chinese interpretation attaches more importance to comprehension via personal experiences and the interpretation of classic scriptures is highly oriented to reminisced experiences, which suggests that the hermeneutic framework of the philosophic system of Chinese ideas usually deviates from itself.
