中国文化需要转向外在超越吗?

Does Chinese Culture Need A Turn to External Transcendence?

黄玉顺先生认为,内在超越是中西哲学共有的特征,内在超越不仅不优于外在超越,而且带来了很多问题,而解决问题的出路则在于转向外在超越。但西方哲学不具有内在超越性,即便我们认可了这种内在超越性,其内在超越也是知识论意义上的,而不是道德与宗教意义上的。内在超越不应承受过多的指责,外在超越与内在超越相互包含,内在超越带来的种种问题,也会为外在超越所引起。因此,将解决问题的希望寄托在外在超越上是不切实际的。从我们民族文化的独特性及其对国家与社会所起的深厚的基础作用,以及坚定我国当前的主流信仰马克思主义来说,重建一神信仰既不现实,也没有必要。

According to Mr.Huang Yushun,internal transcendence is a feature common to Chinese and Western philosophical traditions;no better than external transcendence,internal transcendence also brings many problems,the solution of which lies in turning to external transcendence.However,Western philosophy has no inherent transcendence;even if we recognize any such internal transcendence,it is so only in the sense of epistemology,not in that of morality or religion.Internal transcendence should not bear too much criticism;external transcendence and internal transcendence are open to each other.Various problems brought by internal transcendence are also occasioned by by external transcendence.Therefore,it is impractical to place the hope of problem solving on external transcendence.From the joint perspectives of the uniqueness of our national culture,the strong foundational role it plays in both state and social formation,and the building of faith in Marxism as the prevailing belief,it is neither realistic nor necessary to rebuild any monotheism.
