论道家思想方法的现代意义——兼谈中国哲学的现代建设

Significance of the Methodology of Daoism Today:The Construction of Modern Chinese Philosophy

现代中国哲学要建构属于自己本民族的言说方式,就有必要在吸纳其他优秀文化的基础上不断挖掘深藏在中国古代哲学中的思想方法和思维方法,并加以诠释和创造。就中国道家思想方法而言,由于它可能用系统的方法将事物各层次上的本质观结成一个整体,并分层次地去描述事物的属性,从而有可能实现人类认识的整体性超越,获得对古今中外认知成果的高度综合。可以相信,对道家思想方法和思维方法进行深入地挖掘和诠释,将会使时代提出的融汇中西、高度综合的理想成为可能,使中国哲学的现代建设以及自身言说方式的建立成为可能。

To construct modern Chinese philosophy with its own national feature, it is necessary for us to explore particular methodologies in ancient Chinese philosophy and then transform them in a creative way. Characterized by an effort to reach a synthesis of attributions on different levels, the methodology of Daoism provides us a possibility to achieve the fusion of Chinese and Western thoughts so as to construct modem Chinese philosophy with its own national feature.
