道器无间:论陈少明“做中国哲学”

The Continuity between Dao and Qi:On Chen Shaoming’s“Doing Chinese Philosophy”

陈少明“做中国哲学”的方法论在学界颇有影响,但尚无对其操作步骤的完整概括,更无对陈少明所做之哲学体系的探讨。“做中国哲学”须经历寻找“有思想价值的事件”,挖掘事件背后的经验,揭橥经验背后的观念,“兑换观念的支票”等过程。陈少明在此过程中,建构起了中国道器结构形上学,强调“以道观器”的人生态度,将哲学视作思考宇宙人生的动态过程,使其哲学带有即器言道、道器并重的特点和不断更新、发展的性质,可谓中西之辨的新发展。可以说,陈少明接着前辈做出新时代中国哲学的较优路径,或是用“原汤”“做中国哲学”,吾器我道,进而超越古今中西之辨。

Chen Shaoming’s methodology of“doing Chinese philosophy”has a great influence in the academic circle,but there is no complete summary of its operating steps,letting alone a discussion of Chen Shaoming’s philosophical system.“Doing Chinese philosophy”must go through the process of looking for“events with ideological value”,digging out the experience behind the events,exposing the ideas behind the experience,and“exchanging the checks of ideas”.In this process,Chen Shaoming constructed the structural metaphysics of Chinese Dao and Qi,emphasized the life attitude of“observing Qi with Dao”.He regarded philosophy as a dynamic process of thinking about the universe and life and made his philosophy have the characteristics of emphasizing both Dao and Qi,and constantly updating and developing,which can be called the new development of the discrimination between China and the West.It can be said that Chen Shaoming followed the predecessors to make a better path of Chinese philosophy in the new era,or used the“original soup”to“doing Chinese philosophy”and then transcended the debate between ancient and modern China and the West.
