“创世问题”还是“平凡原理”?——和赵汀阳一起追问存在

对于"存在"的哲学蕴含与现实意义,赵汀阳认为,存在的本意是永在,为了达到永在就需要善在,因为只有善在才能有效保证存在。存在与创造是一致的,一种能够反思存在本源性的存在论必定同时是一种创世论。人的存在意义并非一个无意义的问题,人至少必须解释人想做什么。人的自然存在本身未必有目的,但人却在创世中创造了目的,因此使自身存在具有了意义。张盾在同赵汀阳的论辩中提出了自己的观点,他认为,人必须存在,这是他的天命,存在以自身为目的,所以它只能是平凡的,而不可能具有神奇性。但存在的本意是平凡,并不是平庸,平凡恰恰代表着一个存在者按自然法度自己去存在的力度。崔平认为,"存在"是让所有人都倍感亲切和平凡的日常语言,存在不但是实质谓词,而且是最高级、最高贵的谓词。存在概念不必追求高贵,但它本身就是先验高贵的。如果说生活中存在追求高贵的现象,那也只不过是具有先验高贵品性的存在概念的经验实现。张蓬认为,"存在"是西方哲学的范畴,同时也可以表达中国哲学问题。中国哲学思维从"生生"之道进入"存在"问题,并以中道、不二、双运、圆融的方式来思考和把握中国哲学语境中的"存在"问题。如此从"存在"范畴的视域观看中国哲学思维,可以深入探索中国哲学思维的特质。

Zhao Ting-yang thinks that existence is perpetual,so perpetuity needs goodness.Existence is consistent with creation.The human existence is significant and man has his aim in the course of creation,so human existence is significant.Zhang Dun disagrees with Zhao Ting-yang in that human existence comes from heaven and its aim is itself,so it is a common thing.Cui Ping thinks that existence is common and cordial,and what's more,it is the noblest and highest.Existence does not seek nobility for it is noble in its birth.If nobility is sought for in reality for it is represented.Zhang Peng thinks that existence comes from the West,but it can be used to expound some China's philosophical problems and explore some thinking characteristics of China's philosophy.
