从“贵体贱用”到“相与为体”——中国体用哲学的范式转换

From "attaching importance to substance while belittling function" to "interaction between substance and function

中国古典哲学尤其是佛教哲学与宋明理学通过体用之辨而确立自己的哲学架构 ,一系列哲学范畴均是通过体用而建立起来的。但由于那种“贵体贱用”的体用论模式 ,导致了古典思想的形而上学取向 ,从而把世界还原为本个独立的本体的作用形式或显现形式。在古典形而上学世界观终结的明清之际 ,传统的体用论也面临着危机 ,王夫之把传统的“贵体贱用”的形而上学体用论转换为“相与为体”的交互体用论模式 ,从而实现了中国体用哲学的现代范式转换。

Classical Chinese philosophies,especially the Buddhistic philosophy and the Confucian school of idealist philosophy of the Song and Ming Dynasties,established their philosophical structure by discriminating the relationship between substance and function and a series of philosophical categories were established through substance and function.But the theory pattern of substance and function of 'attaching importance to substance while belittling function'led to the metaphysical orientation of classical ideology and returned the world to the action form or manifestation of individual substance.At the turn from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty when classical metaphysical world outlook ended,traditional theory of substance and function also faced crisis.Wang Fuzhi converted traditional metaphysical theory of substance and function of'attaching importance to substance while belittling function' into the pattern of interactive theory of substance and function of 'interaction between substance and function' and therefore realized the modern pattern conversion of Chinese philosophy of substance and function.
