20世纪中国哲学的定位与重构——《三教融合与中西会通》自序

Justification and Reconstruction of Chinese Philosophy in the 20th Century: An Auto-preface to Incorperation of the Three Religions and Understanding Between the Orient and the Occident

20世纪是中国社会由传统走向现代的转型时期。中国哲学作为一种学术体系,在百年间经过学科定位、对象界定、融合中西、理论重构,亦基本完成了由传统向现代的学术转型。胡适确有"创始之功",冯友兰深思力作,为之树立了"典范"。面对世纪之交全球化思潮兴起、文化多元主义流行、世界范围内中国思想研究非哲学化的历史文化取向变化,及其中国哲学工作者"同行迷失"之困惑,"中国哲学"的学科独立性又一次面临挑战。为此要继续沿着冯友兰"接着讲"的"哲学创作(重构)"思路,在如何既能保持"中国的"属性和特质不变而又能促进其向"现代"创造性转化这两个有机联系的问题上,进一步对中国哲学的定位和重构进行新的哲学思考。

The 20th century was a reconstructing age to Chinese society from a traditional to a modern society. Similarly, as an academic system, Chinese philosophy also completed its reconstruction from a traditional to a modern discipline through a century of disciplinary justification, subject specification, understanding between the Orient and the Occident and theoretical reconstruction. In this great undertaking, Hu Shi did play 'the role as an initiator', but Feng Youlan set up a 'brilliant example' to all with his profound thinking and influential works. At this turning point of the centuries when the trend of gobalization rose, cultural plurality prevails and a worldwide change of nonphilosophizing historical orientation is occurring to study of Chinese ideology, and accordingly Chinese philosophers are puzzled with 'their counterparts' loss', the independence of 'Chinese philosophy' as a discipline is faced with another challenge. Therefore, Chinese philosophers should continue to maintain Feng Youlan's percepection of philosophical establishment(reconstruction) in his insightful remark 'continue preaching' and further their philosophical contemplation on the justification and reconstruction of Chinese philosophy. If they maintain this undertaking, they are sure to find a way in the organic connection between maintaining the property and peculiaity of 'Chinese philosophy' and promoting its conversion to 'modern' creativity.
