时间观:西方的“天人分离”与中国的“天人合一”

View of Time:Western "Separation between Heaven and Human" and Chinese "Integration of Heaven and Human"

时间是人类哲学和科学共同的研究对象。西方哲学的时间观与中国哲学与术数的时间观既有相同之处也有区别。西方哲学认时间为本体之外,中国哲学认本体为时间本身;西方传统哲学的时间观是"天人分离"的,把人的活动与时间的进程分离开来;中国传统哲学与术数对时间的理解是"天人合一"的,把人的生存活动与时间看作一个相互影响和作用的整体。中国哲学和术数的此种时间观在当代科学和哲学发展中体现出新的意义。

Time is the common research object of science and philosophy.There are difference and similarities between the view of time in western philosophy and in Chinese philosophy and divination (Shushu).In western philosophy,time is outside of noumenon,while in Chinese philosophy,time is noumenon itself.The view of time in traditional western philosophy is separation between heaven and human,human's activities are separated from time;however,in Chinese philosophy and divination,heaven and human are integrated,human's activities and time are seen as a whole of interaction.The paper argues that this view of time will show its new significance in contemporary science and philosophy development.
