“兼和论”与综合创新论的理论奠基

Theory of“Jianhe”(Inclusive Heterogeneous Harmony)and Theoretical Foundation of Synthetic Creativity Theory

综合创新论发源自张申府,张岱年一直试图为这种文化观提供理论基础。1987年,张岱年正式提出综合创新论,在同一年,张岱年还发表了1948年完成的个人哲学体系的代表作《天人简论》。如何解读《天人简论》?《天人简论》与综合创新论有何联系?这些问题成为综合创新论研究的重要问题。在2000年以前,学者仍以传统的苏式唯物辩证法框架作为解读《天人简论》与综合创新论关系的参考系,“两一”被看成张岱年哲学体系的核心范畴。2000年,刘鄂培重新发掘与阐释张岱年《天人简论》中的“兼和”思想,并提出:张岱年哲学体系的中心范畴是“兼和”,“兼和”是综合创新论的理论基础,从而给出了解读《天人简论》与综合创新论的另一种可能性。

The Synthetic Creativity Theory originated from Zhang Shenfu,and Zhang Dainian has always been trying to provide a theoretical foundation for this cultural theory.The year 1987 is unusual for Zhang Dainian,as his Synthetic Creativity Theory was formally put forward and his representative philosophical work A Brief Study of Nature and Man was published in the same year.How to analyze his work?And what’s the connection between it and his Synthetic Creativity Theory?All these questions become the new research focus.Before 2000,traditional Soviet Union style Dialectic Materialism is usually regarded as the reference system within which the central category of Zhang Dainian’s philosophy is the“Two in One”(The Relations between the One and Its Two Contrary Aspects).In 2000,Liu Epei rediscovered the term“Jianhe”(Inclusive heterogeneous harmony)and put forth his view that the central category of Zhang Dainian’s philosophy is“Jianhe”,thereby the theoretical foundation of the Synthetic Creativity Theory should be established upon the category“Jianhe”.Liu Epei’s view provides new theoretical space for the exploration of the relations between the work A Brief Study of Nature and Man and the Synthetic Creativity Theory.
