比较哲学视域中的《易经》宇宙论

The Cosmology of The Book of Changes: From a Comparative Philosophical Perspective

在比较哲学的视域中,诠释《易经》的宇宙论是一个既不能脱离西方哲学宇宙论传统,又必须仔细研读《周易》经传相关内容的哲学课题。唐君毅解读《易经》哲学时,提出“无定体观”“一多不分观”“非定命观”“合有无动静观”“性即天道观”等儒家宇宙论概念,可以借鉴参考并加以新的哲学阐释。从比较哲学的角度,可以将儒家宇宙论从谱系性、改良性、具体主义、涌现生成的角度作出新诠。这不仅是对唐君毅哲学的新解读,也为回答儒家关于人的经验、如何过上有意义生活等人生观问题打下宇宙论的哲学基础。

How to interpret the cosmology of the Book of Changes from the perspective of comparative philosophy is a philosophical topic that cannot be separated from traditional Western cosmology,and also the content of the text and commentary of the Book of Changes.Tang Junyi(1909-1978)argues that traditional Chinese cosmology should be understood as processual,as a generative-generating process.Tang’s philosophical ideas are reasonable and should be taken seriously in philosophical explanation,for example,he argues that there is no real unchanging body and essence,that the one cannot be separated from the many,that there is no pre-destined idea of fate,that there is a continuity of being and non-being,as well as of the moving and unmoving etc.in Chinese philosophy.From the perspective of comparative philosophy,we can provide a new hermeneutic reading of Confucian cosmology,one that takes it to be contextual,conducive,concrete,and emerging,etc.This new philosophical interpretation of traditional Confucian cosmology is not only a new reading of Tang’s philosophy,but also a philosophical foundation that reflects the Confucian ideas of human experience,how to live a meaningful life,etc.
