钱穆与冯友兰境界说比较研究

A Comparison of Qian Mu's Concept on Life with Feng Youlan's

冯友兰和钱穆都是以史学为进路的思想家,但二人的人生境界理论具有较大的差异。主要表现在境界论的逻辑起点、生命层级理论以及人生最高境界三方面。两种境界论的不同,主要源于哲学本体论的差异,境界体系的建构也各有千秋、互有得失。尽管他们各自的理论都有不足之处,但瑕不掩瑜,冯友兰的"四境界"说与钱穆的"艺术人生"观都称得上是中国现代哲学中最具特色的人生哲学思想。

Feng Youlan and Qian Mu are both influential thinkers with a focus on historical studies but have different concepts on life embodied in their differences in logical departure, the hierarchical theory of life and the acme of life. Their differences in this aspect have their roots in their different understandings of philosophical ontology and their different ways of constructing their philosophical systems. Though not perfect, their concepts on life are the most typical philosophical ideas in Chinese modern philosophy.
