异样的现代性——中国现代化进程中科学与信仰的离合

Peculiar Modernity:Separation and Combination of Science and Faith in the Course of Chinese Modernization

欧洲现代性的发生在一定意义上缘自宗教的转向。但是,在近代中国,由于宗教的影响被现实和中国人自己因功利目的而选择的工具理性所冲击,将科学与它的原初精神基质剥离,导致在中国以科学的名义建构了一个异样的现代性。这必然会引出新问题和新任务,从而要求人们遵循现代学的原理,从全球和世界的新轴心文明眼光来筹划中国未来,将中国文化的建设当作一个世界性的问题,把现代化的中国道路提升为文明或文化的中国思路。

To a certain extent, European modernity started from a religious turn, while in modem China, religious influence was impacted by its social reality and its choices of instrumental reasons owing to its utility concerns. Thus, science and its original spiritual core were separated, which led to china＇ s constructing a different and peculiar modernity under the name of science. New questions and new tasks accordingly arise, which requires devising plans for future China guided by modernity principles and by the global perspective of world new axial civilization. Chinese culture construction must hereby be treated as a cosmopolitan is- sue, Chinese modernization process as a civilization as well as a culture process.
