哲学乃“批判性”与“建设性”的统一——《论哲学的批判本质》一文补议

Philosophy as the Unity of “Critique” and “Construction”

哲学并不仅仅是"批判的哲学",亦是"建设的哲学"。因为哲学并非"为批判而批判","批判"乃是为了更好地"建设"。从破立性的角度而言,如果说"批判"是"破"的话,"建设"当然就是"立"了。可是,哲学并非"为破而破","破"乃是为了更好地"立",正所谓"不破不立"。可见,"更好地建设"乃是哲学批判的真正使命。因此,应该将哲学的"批判性"与"建设性"联系起来、贯通起来理解,因为哲学之为哲学,本身便是"批判"与"建设"的统一,是"破"与"立"的统一。"批判性"与"建构性"的有机统一乃构成哲学的完整使命,片面强调其中任何一个方面都不是辩证的。

Philosophy is not only ＂critical philosophy＂, but also ＂constructive philosophy＂ because philosophy is not ＂criticism-for-criticism＂. The aim of criticism is to construct better. From the perspective of ＂breaking and establishing＂, we can say that the ＂criticism＂ is ＂breaking＂ while ＂construction＂ is ＂establishing＂. Howev- er, philosophy is not ＂breaking for the sake of breaking＂, whose purpose is ＂establishing better＂. As the saying goes, ＂there＇s no making without breaking＂. It is clear that ＂better construction＂ is the real mission of philosophi- cal criticism. Therefore, we should unite the ＂critique＂ with the ＂construction＂ of philosophy. Philosophy is also the unity of ＂breaking＂ and ＂establishing＂. The organic unity of ＂criticism＂ and ＂construction＂ is the complete mission of philosophy. The emphasis on one is not dialectical.
