侨易与求道——对范劲、杜心源二先生论侨易学的一点评论

Qiaoyi and Seeking the Way:A Commentary on Fan Jin and Du Xinyuan's Criticism of Qiaoyi

叶隽先生在建构侨易学理论时,体现了鲜明的求道意识。范劲、杜心源两位先生对此颇不以为然,二位先生认为,过分强调普遍性之道,有可能会对个体产生一种压抑机制。但是笔者认为对形上之道的追求,不仅不会导致压抑性机制,并且本身内含着对压抑性机制的消除。另外,对统一之道的寻求是应对现代社会诸多困境的一种必要出路,有重要的理论意义。杜心源先生认为侨易学将中华民族预设为"文化民族",是一种"本质主义思维"。笔者不认可杜先生此论。在笔者看来,作为文化民族的中华民族是一种实际,而不是预设。坚守中国文化的主体性,不仅不会产生如杜先生所说的对其他文化族群的压迫,反而有利于促进不同文明系统之间的平等交流。叶先生提到了一种类型的物质位移,即人的"感觉移易",笔者认为有一种人类生活经验,即因人的意识操练活动导致的精神跃迁现象便属于此种类型,很值得运用侨易学进行研究。

Mr.Ye Jun's theory of Qiaoyi is based on a clear sense of seeking the Way.Mr.Fan Jin and Mr.Du Xinyuan are not convinced of this,as they believe that over-emphasis on the universal way may produce a repressive mechanism for the individual.However,the author believes that the pursuit of the Way of Form does not only not lead to a repressive mechanism,but also implies the elimination of the repressive mechanism itself.In addition,the search for the Way of Unity is a necessary way out of the many dilemmas of modern society and has important theoretical significance.Mr.Du Xinyuan believes that the Chinese nation is pre-determined as a"cultural nation"by Qiao Yi Studies,which is a kind of"essentialist thinking".The author does not agree with Mr.Du's argument.In my opinion,the Chinese nation as a cultural nation is a reality,not a presupposition.Adhering to the subjectivity of Chinese culture not only does not produce oppression of other cultural groups as Mr.Du says,but also facilitates equal exchanges among different civilization systems.Mr.Ye mentions a type of material displacement,i.e,the"sensory shift"of human beings.I believe that there is a human life experience,i.e.,the phenomenon of spiritual leap due to human consciousness practice,which belongs to this type,and is worthy of study by using Qiaoyi studies.
