牟宗三“中国哲学特征”论评析

Comments on Mou Zongsan's Characteristics of Chinese Philosophy

In the history of Chinese Philosophy in the 20th Century,it has an important theoretical significance for Mou Zongsan’s view and his systematic explanation of the basic characteristic of Chinese Philosophy.It includes the following three aspects.Firstly,he proves powerful existence of Chinese philosophy in terms of "culture constitution".Secondly,it represents the theoretical consciousness to reflect the basic characteristic of Chinese philosophy in the circles of Chinese thought and culture,completing the pattern transformation of the developing process of Chinese philosophy in the 20th century.Thirdly,he subtly delineates the basic characteristic of Chinese philosophy from the inner dimension of Chinese philosophy.However,there were some problems in Mou Zongsan’theory.Firstly,he regards Chinese culture as the centre of the human culture in the inner-most recesses of his heart.Secondly,there are some logic leap and preposterous in Mou Zongsan’conclusions between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy.Thirdly,some theoretical key propositions,such as "why the Mind is the Noumenon of the Cosmos and things" were not proved powerfully.
