中国哲学研究中的真理与方法问题

The Problem of Truth and Method in the Study of Chinese Philosophy

现代以来学术界关于中国哲学研究方法论的讨论,主要集中于两个时段:一个是在现代中国哲学研究的初创时期,即20世纪二三十年代;另一个是20世纪90年代以来,讨论的主题被刻画为中国哲学的合法性问题。在第二个时段的讨论中,第一个时段讨论过的一些问题被重新提出,所以第二个时段是一个反思的阶段,并构成了我们当前讨论的背景。首先让我们看一下第一个时段的讨论。我们知道,胡适的《中国哲学史大纲》奠定了现代中国哲学史写作的新范式。

The core of modern humanities is historiography. The eternal truths in scriptures are indanger of being dissolved by the historical methodology. Although discussions on the legitimacy of Chinesephilosophy have led to a hermeneutic turn in methodology, there is still a danger of completely historicizing thequestion of truth. “Chinese Philosophy as a Philosophy of Paideia” proposes to respond to the problem of truthand method in the study of Chinese philosophy.
