“知识”抑或是“价值”?——当代新儒家关于“中国哲学现代化”路径的讨论

“Knowledge”or“Value”?——On the Path of“Modernization of Chinese Philosophy”by Contemporary Neo-Confucianists

自梁漱溟“文化三路向”始,将西方文明看作知识的学问、中华文明看作价值的学问便成为当代新儒家的共识。如何衡量“价值”与“知识”的关系,也成为其理论核心所在,其哲学构建也因各代新儒家所处时势及理论深度推进不同而呈现各自特点。由于后辈学者往往都是在继承前辈思想与理论的前提下,通过批判前辈来超越前辈,其理论体系的内在发展逻辑,便逐渐呈现“知识”与“价值”交替优先的螺旋式动态上升趋势。

Since Liang Shuming’s“Three Directions of Culture”(文化三路向),it has become a consensus of Contemporary Neo-Confucianists(当代新儒家)to regard western civilization as knowledge and Chinese civilization as value.How to measure the relationship between“value”and“knowledge”has become the core of their theory,and its philosophical construction also shows its own characteristics due to the different times and theoretical depth of Neo-Confucianism.Since the younger generation of scholars tend to surpass their predecessors by criticizing their predecessors on the premise of inheriting their thoughts and theories,the internal development logic of their theoretical system gradually presents a spiral dynamic upward trend of alternating priority of“knowledge”and“value”.
