古典生活经验与中国哲学创作——陈少明《做中国哲学:一些方法论的思考》读后感

Life Experiences in Classical Times and Chinese Philosophical Creation:A Review of Chen Shaoming's Do Philosophy:Some Methodological Reflections

解读陈少明先生的新著《做中国哲学:一些方法论的思考》,可抓住三个重点:第一,经由"有思想价值的事件"的敞开与呈现,那些具体、生动的古典生活经验从沉睡中醒来,激活并焕发了人们的观念创造与哲学创作;第二,古典生活经验及其丰富的意义蕴含于人、事、物的复杂关联之间,识人、说事、观物呼唤并直接走向新的中国哲学书写方式;第三,根除非哲学性倾向,皈依哲学性倾向,激活古典生活经验,不用哲学史研究代替哲学创作,中国哲学创作才能由贫乏变得丰盈、由先天不足变得枝繁叶茂。归结起来,"做中国哲学"实则以古典生活经验达成中国哲学创作,这对于发展并创新中国哲学史方法论具有别开生面的启发意义。

There are three main points in Professor Chen Shaoming's new book,Do Chinese Philosophy,Some Methodological Reflections. First,by bringing the'events with thought values'to light,those concrete and vivid life experiences in classical times are waken up from slumber to stimulate and revitalize people's conceptual innovation and philosophical creation. Second,the life experiences in classical times and their rich implications lie in the complicated connections between people,events,and things. Coming in direct contact with these people,events and things would lead to a novel way of writing Chinese philosophy. Third,get rid of the un-philosophical tendency and return to philosophical tendency,activate the life experiences in classical times,avoid using historical study of philosophy to replace philosophical creation-- all this would give Chinese philosophy a new lease of life. To sum up,'doing Chinese philosophy'means calling up the life experiences in classical times to stimulate Chinese philosophical creation.
