西方哲学在中国的当代语境

The Contemporary Context of Western Philosophy in China

何谓哲学?对此的解释在思想界众说纷纭,但都回避不了"哲学"这个名词的发明者毕达哥拉斯,他将研究哲学的人定位于既不为名、也不为利的人,将哲学解释为"爱智慧"。亚里士多德提出研究哲学有三个条件:惊讶、闲暇、自由,这三个条件实际上诠释了毕达哥拉斯对哲学的经典定义。惊讶是哲学的起因,哲学起源于古希腊哲人对"一切存在者存在于存在之中"的惊讶;闲暇是研究哲学的条件,是一种面对哲学的纯粹向度,然而中国哲学数千年都失去了这种向度;自由是哲学的归宿,它指向了哲学所追求的真善美的终极目标,在一种更高的层次上,体现了科学之"真"与道德之"善",体现了西方哲学与中国哲学的殊途同归。

There are different opinions as to the definitions of philosophy in the academic circle, but we cannot avoid mentioning Pythagoras who coined the term ＂philosophy＂, and who explains the philosophy as ＂love of wis- dom＂. Aristotle proposes three conditions to study the philosophy：surprise, leisure and freedoom, which actually interpret the classic definition of Pythagoras philosophy. Surprise is the cause of philosophy, and philosophy origi- nates from the surprise of ancient Greek philosopher to ＂Allies Seiende ist im Sein＂ ; leisure is the condition to study philosophy and it is a kind of pure dimension which faces philosophy. However, Chinese philosophy has lost it for thousands of years. Freedom is the end-product of philosophy and points to the ultimate goals of the truth, the good and the beauty, and suggests that the scientific ＂truth＂ and the moral ＂goodness＂ should be combined. On a much higher level, it reflects the identical ultimate goals of Chinese philosophy and western philosophy despite the different approaches.
