东方与西方之间:犹太哲学及其对中国哲学的意义

Between The East and West: Jewish Philosophy and Its Meaning to Chinese Philosophy

犹太哲学既不同于西方的理性主义哲学 ,也不同于中国古代的直觉主义哲学。它代表了一种新型的思维方式 ,是一条介于东方哲学与西方哲学之间的“亦东亦西”的思想之路。犹太哲学不仅在形式上利用西方哲学的理性主义思维方式来解释自己的传统 ,而且做到了在内容上与西方哲学的融合与统一。犹太哲学对中国哲学的意义在于 ,它认定了中国现代哲学发展的方向 ,表明中西哲学会通的道路是可行的 ;中国现代哲学没有做到在形式和内容两个方面与西方哲学的真正融合 ,犹太哲学为未来提供了一个可供参考的范例 ;作为一种宗教哲学 ,犹太哲学提醒未来的中国哲学应关注宗教信仰因素。

The Jewish philosophy is different both from rationalist philosophy of West and the intuitionism of ancient China. As a new mode of thought, it is 'both East and West'. It not only explains its own tradition in forms with rationalist mode of thought of Western philosophy, but also unifies itself in contents with Western philosophy. Its meaning to Chinese philosophy lies in that it identifies the direction along which modern Chinese philosophy develops and it is feasible to combines Chinese and Western philosophies; that while modern Chinese philosophy fails in amalgamating with Western philosophy both in forms and contents, it provides a paradigm of reference for the future; that as a religious philosophy, it reminds the future Chinese philosophy should pay attention to the element of religious belief.
