三组古典哲学命题之会通

Three Sets of Classical Philosophical Propositions

在哲学史上,有三组辩题对人们的思维方式产生了深刻的影响。这三组辩题分别由古希腊的芝诺、中国先秦名家和南北朝时期佛学代表人物僧肇提出。三组辩题虽分属于三种文化系统,却有着一定的同构性,尤其表现在对时空观念的认识上。通过探析三组辩题及其解答方式,横向比较寻找其会通之处,可知这三组辩题皆凸显了所属文化的逻辑思维方式;表达了先哲对现象的质疑和对本质的探求;对时空观、运动观的探讨提高了人们的逻辑思维能力,深化了人们对世界的认识。

In the history of philosophy, there are three types of arguments that profoundly influence people s way of thinking. These three kinds of arguments were proposed by Zeno of ancient Greece, famous Chinese in pre-Qin Dynasty and representatives of Buddhism in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although those three types of thesis belong to three diferent cultural systems, they have certain isomorphism, especially in the view of the concept of time and space. The paper analyzes the three types of arguments and their solutions through horizontal comparison to find the point where it can pass. We think that the three types of arguments all highlight the logical way of thinking of the culture and expresses the question of the philosopher s questioning and the exploration of the essence. The discussion of time and space and the concept of movement have improved people s logical thinking ability and deepened people s understanding of the world.
