如何理解“哲学史”?

How to Understand“History of Philosophy”?

哲学史的研究应该是哲学的研究,而不是"史学"的研究。伟大哲学家的思想和哲学经典著作就是哲学本身。哲学史不是一个与研究主体处于对立状态的研究"客体",而是与研究者处于同一个历史中,面对的是同样的哲学基本问题的世界。任何伟大的哲学家,都是我们的同时代人,因为他们思考人类最基本的问题或本源性问题。而这样的问题,是其他特殊问题的基本条件,因而在任何一个历史时代都会以不同方式出现。所以伟大的哲学家都能在当代对我们说话,回答当代的问题。

The study of history of philosophy should be study of philosophy,not of historiography.The thoughts of great philosophers and the classics of philosophical works are philosophy itself.'History of philosophy' is not an object opposite to the subject who studies it.It shares the same history and the same world with its researchers.Every great philosopher is our contemporary with us,since they think the most fundamental problems of mankind which condition every particular problem and always appear in different times with different forms.For this reason,great philosophers speak to us in our time and answer the contemporary problems.Study of history of philosophy is to converse with great philosophers and answer the common problems of mankind with them.
