通过名而思——契入儒家形上学的一种可能

Thinking through Ming:A Possibility of Getting into the Confucian Metaphysics

近代以来,在中国哲学家建构的两种主要的形上学模型——道德形上学与具体形上学中,存在概念都占着极为重要的位置.然而,作为一种西方哲学的底本,存在能否呈现中国哲学的特质始终都是一个问题.这个困境将我们引向一种可能:中国哲学中是否也能找到某种底本?窃以为答案是肯定的,那便是名.于是,我们就可以通过名来重新思考和阐发中国哲学的问题.为了证明这种方法的可行性,我们以儒家形上学为例,提出三个具有儒家特色的哲学问题:名何以把握实?人为何遵循名?我如何看待名?通过思考和回答这三个问题,一种新的儒家形上学的规模已经略有呈现.

Since modern times,the concept of Being has played extremely important role in two main Metaphysics models established by Chinese philosophers,which are morality Metaphysics and concrete Metaphysics.However,as a base color of western philosophy,it has continued to be a question whether Being presents the feature of Chinese philosophy.This confusion leads us to a possibility if we might find a base color for Chinese philosophy.As far as I am concerned,the answer is positive,it is Ming,by which we may reconsider the problem on Chinese philosophy.Taking Confucian Metaphysics as an example,three Confucianism-featured questions may be raised by Ming,Which are whether Ming can grasp Shi?Why do people obey Ming?And how do people consider Ming?Accordingly,a better Confucian Metaphysics will be established by answering the three questions above.
