唐君毅的感通玄学

On Tang Junyi’s Metaphysical Theory of Empathy

唐君毅立足儒家心性哲学传统,创造性地使用和发挥《易传》中的感通思想,建构了一个涵括中西印基本哲学精神的思想体系。相比熊十力的宇宙本体论模式,唐君毅的感通形上学具有一个认识论维度,思想上更为饱满。虽然如此,他的论证并不彻底,其思想构架也未超出他所批评的黑格尔主义,由于没有区分开不同层面的感通,其细节处往往失于含混。如何接取唐君毅的思想洞见,在人的生存体验层面建构新的感通论,是当代儒学也是易学现代转化的一个重要方向。

Based on the tradition of Confucian heart-mind philosophy, Tang Junyi(1909-1978), creatively employed and developed the thought of empathy in the Yi zhuan(Commentaries on the Changes), and constructed an ideological system containing the basic Chinese, Indian and Western philosophical spirit. Compared with Xiong Shili’s(1885-1968) cosmic ontological model, Tang Junyi’s empathy-oriented metaphysics possesses an epistemological dimension, and his thought is more rounded out. Nevertheless, his argument is not perfect, and his ideological framework did not exceed the Hegelianism he criticized. Because he did not distinguish the empathy on different levels, the details of his argument were often ambiguous. How to take advantage of Tang Junyi’s ideological insight and construct a new theory of empathy on the level of human life experience is an important direction for modern transformation of contemporary Confucianism and Yijing studies.
