哲学,作为一种生活态度

Philosophy,as an Attitude of Life

哲学,作为一种生活态度,就是要通过对日常思维的批判,确立一些终极的生活原则,从而达到心灵的宁静,即超然物外,不为名、利、权所动,保持自身的独立与自由。哲学态度的生活就是以出世的态度入世。出世的生活正如入世的生活,两者都了无趣味。纯粹出世的生活心如槁木,缺少生机;而纯粹入世的生活则斤斤计较于眼前的一己所得,形同猪狗。只有以出世的态度入世,生活才具有张力和生机。以哲学的态度生活,即以理性的态度生活,而非以宗教的态度生活,也非以科学的态度生活,非以艺术的态度生活。因为唯有哲学具有自我否定能力,从而能够趋向于无限之野。哲学立足于人,而非神,但又保持着对于神性的敬畏。

Philosophy as an attitude of life,is to establish firmly some ultimate principles of life by criticizing the everyday thinking to arrive at the tranquility of mind,or to go beyond the external world,not moved by power,fame and wealth,to keep the independence and freedom of oneself.The life with philosophic attitude is to live a worldly life with a detached attitude.The worldly life and the life detached from worldly life are both without any interest.The life purely detached from worldly life is lifeless with the heart like withered wood;while the pure worldly life is like an animal focusing on every gain for oneself.Only by living a worldly life with a detached attitude,can life be lively and full of force.Living with philosophic attitude is living with rational attitude instead of living with religious attitude,nor with scientific attitude,nor artistic attitude.Only philosophy possesses the power of self denial,life thus tends to limitlessness.Philosophy is based on man instead of deity,but it also cherishes the awe for divinity.
