哲学的定义与中国哲学的合法性

The Definitions of Philosophy and the Legitimacy of Chinese Philosophy

哲学不是学科,而是一种探索活动。哲学的最终目的就是为了解决人类生存的安全问题,中西方哲学的不同之处在于解决安全问题的方式不一样。西方人认为人可以靠自身的能力扎根于世界,担忧的是生存的环境是否真实,因此求真就成了西方哲学的目的,"本体"就成为了西方哲学的核心观念;而中国人则认为人是不可能靠自身的能力立足的,人的生存必须依赖于整个社会,因此处理关系求善就成了中国哲学的首要任务,探求解决方法的"道"便是中国哲学的核心观念。

Philosophy is not a discipline, but rather an exploration activity. Philosophy＇s ultimate goal is to solve security problems of human existence. The difference between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy lies in resolving security issues differently. Westerners think people can survive in the world with the natural abilities, showing concerns for the reality of the surviving environment, so reality seeking becomes the purpose of Western philosophy, with ＂Ontology＂ as the core. The Chinese believe people cannot survive with the natural abilities, and must rely on the whole society, so processing various relationships and the pursuit of goodness become the primary tasks of Chinese philosophy, with the ＂way＂ of solution as the core of Chinese philosophy.
