不是请回上帝,而是多元一体

Not to Bring Back God,but to Realize Pluralistic Integration

中国有上帝,但中国的上帝与西方的不一样。西方上帝与人的关系是超越的、断裂的,而中国的"天人合一"是一种天人互益的关系,是连续的,彼此没有超越性,更多地体现出人的自由纬度和人的自由性。所以,中国传统的天道比西方的上帝更具包容性。未来中国民族文化重建并不靠请回上帝来完成,而是在人性与天性中寻找平衡,建立多元一体的文化结构。这是我们向基督教文化学习时应该有的态度,也是儒学重建的一个努力方向。

In China, there is a God, but the God from China differs from the one from the West. The relationship be- tween the Western God and humans is transcendental and fragmented, yet China＇s concept of ＂oneness between Heaven and Man＂ represents a mutually beneficial relationship, which is continuous, never transcending each other, and embodying more liberal dimension and freedom of humans. Therefore, the traditional Chinese concept of ＂Heaven＂ is more inclusive than its Western counterpart. Reconstruction of national cultural in the future does not rely on the effort of bringing back God, but on the balance between human and nature to build a cultural structure featuring pluralistic integration. This is the proper attitude we should take when learning from the Christian culture, and the right direction for rebuilding Confucianism.
