体验与思辨——中西哲学思维方式之比较

Experience and Speculation——Comparison of Thinking Mode between Chinese Philosophy and West Philosophy

思维方式是指一个民族或者一个区域在长期的历史发展过程中所形成的一种思维定势,它是民族文化中最深层次的一部分。中西哲学,由于受到不同的自然、社会、人文等因素的影响,演化成了两种不同的思维方式:中国哲学讲求实用,"重了悟而不重实证",以求达到"天人合一"的境界;西方哲学追求对自然知识的认识,强调物我二分,讲求实证和注重思辨,以达到对世界本质的认识。中西哲学沿着两个不同的方向,走了截然不同的两条道路。文章试图通过对中西哲学不同思维方式的比较,探求整合中西哲学两种思维方式的有效途径。

The thinking mode is a kind of fixed thought which developed during the long - term history of a nationality or a region and it is the deepest level part of the national culture. The Chinese Philosophy and the West Philosophy evolved two different thinking modes due to the influence of different factors such as nature, society, humanities and so on. The Chinese philosophy emphasizes utility and experience but not speculation in order to achieve the situation of ＂nature and human becoming one＂. The western philosophy pursues to understand the natural knowledge, emphasize the dichotomy between materials and human beings, pay attention to the practicity and the speculation for understanding the world essence. The Chinese philosophy and the West philosophy go in two different directions and take two different paths entirely. This article attempts to search for the effective way of conforming two different thinking modes between the Chinese philosophy and the West philosophy through the comparison.
