中西哲学追求“永恒”的不同进路——兼论哲学研究的先验维度

Different Approaches of Pursuing"Eternity"in Chinese and Western Philosophies——Also on the transcendental dimension of philosophical research

中西哲学在各自产生和发展的过程中体现出一种相似性,即研究对象的先验性,也就是对“永恒”的不断追求。西方哲学在追求“永恒”的过程中表现出一种超越性的特点,即在此岸世界之外去构建一个支点来为自身辩护。中国哲学则显示出自身的内在性特点,即在此岸世界自身中寻找一个合理的说明体系。中西哲学两种进路的共同点在于追求目标的绝对先验性,而这种先验性恰恰构成了中西哲学以两种不同思维方式追求“永恒”的起点。

In the process of their emergence and development,Chinese and western philosophies show a similarity,namely,the transcendentality of the research objects,or rather,the continuous pursuit of"eternity".When pursuing"eternity",western philosophy shows a transcendental feature,that is,to build a fulcrum outside the world to defend itself.Chinese philosophy shows its inherent characteristics,that is,to find a reasonable explanation system in the world itself.The common point of the two approaches of Chinese and western philosophies lies in the absolute transcendence of pursuing the goal,which exactly constitutes their starting point in pursuing"eternity"with two different ways of thinking.
