反思、退省和再启蒙--王元化先生的晚年之学

Reflection,Retreat and Re-enlightenment:On WANG Yuan-hua's Thought in His Late Years

王元化的“第三次反思”采用黑格尔哲学式的理念,对他的早年思想和学术做了进一步的继承和扬弃。他的思想方法是从德国哲学汲取的“反思”(Reflection),他的精神资源来自家族信仰中的“退省”(Retreat),而根本的思想特征仍然是早年萌发的“启蒙”,是经过“第三次反思”之后的“再启蒙”(Re-enlightenment)。王元化提出“有学术的思想和有思想的学术”,他是一位对于旧世纪中国人的百年历史展开批判,对新世纪人类未定蓝图有着关怀和憧憬的思想家,他在最后二十年中留给了我们一份珍贵的“晚年之学”。

In his“third reflection”,WANG Yuan-hua sublated his early thought and academics by adopting a Hegelian philosophy.His way of thinking is the“reflection”in German philosophy and his spiritual resource is the idea of“retreat”from his family tradition,while his thought is still fundamentally characterized by“re-enlightenment”after his“third reflection”,a new version of“enlightenment”distinct from the old version germinated in his early years.Advocating the idea of“academics with thought and thought in academic depth”,WANG made a critical reflection on China in the past century and an imagination of the uncertain future of the human beings in the new century.He left invaluable learning in his late years.
