“国学为根论”新探——从程恩富的文化主张说起

A New Exploration of the Idea"Chinese Learning as the Root":Based on Professor Cheng Enfu's Cultural Propositions

程恩富提出的“马学为体,西学为用,国学为根,综合创新”的文化主张,深刻地把握了中华优秀传统文化与其他两大思潮的关系,值得我们深入探讨。国学之所以能够“为根”,不仅因为它是最深刻的哲学,而且还在于它抓住了社会治理的根本。儒家“大学之道”规定了社会治理的根本法则,是人类摆脱私有制价值体系控制之道。社会主义制度为“大学之道”的最终落实提供可能,一旦人们在“大学之道”的攀登上达到了一定的高度,自然就会把马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化结合起来,认识到自己同这个文化传统的有机联系,进而认同“国学为根”。在当今世界,只有中国处于“光明区”并沿着“大学之道”向上攀登,其运行轨迹是一个向上的弧线,此乃人间正道。在人类奔向自我毁灭的大趋势中,我们理当认清自己的优势,坚持自己的理论、道路、制度和文化自信,继续沿着“大学之道”往上走。

Cheng Enfu's cultural proposition of"Marxist concepts as the body and Western learning for their use,Chinese learning as the root,and comprehensive innovation"reflects a profound understanding of the relationship between the excellent traditional Chinese culture and the other two trends of thought,and deserves further discussion.The reason why Chinese learning is"for the root"is not only because it is the most profound philosophy,but also because it captures the root of social governance.The Confucian way of Great Learning has stipulated the fundamental rule of social governance,which points the way for human beings to get rid of the control of the value system of private ownership.The socialist system provides the possibility for the ultimate implementation of"the way of Great Learning".Once people reach a certain height with regard to the way of Great Learning,they will naturally combine Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture,realize their organic connection with this cultural tradition,and consequently identify with the idea of"Chinese learning as the root".In today's world,only China is in the"bright zone"and climbing upward along the way of Great Learning.China's trajectory is an upward arc,which is the right path for humankind.In the general trend of rushing towards self-destruction of the human race,we should recognize our strengths,maintain confidence in our theory,path,system and culture,and continue to move up along the way of Great Learning.
