“面向事物本身”与庄学精神

“面向事物本身”不仅是现象学的主要精神 ,而且也是庄子哲学的主要精神。“面向事物本身”要求我们直接诉诸于经验事物 ,庄子哲学则要求我们“六合之外 ,圣人存而不论” ;“面向事物本身”要求我们对“自然观点”进行悬置 ,庄子哲学则要求我们对“成心”予以去蔽 ;“面向事物本身”导致了物我的合一 ,庄子哲学则推出了天人不相胜的理论 ;“面向事物本身”提出了内在于人的经验中的超越 ,庄子哲学则从人的现实生命活动中揭示出了宇宙造化的自由精神。     

分析的历史与历史的分析—近30年西方古代与中世纪哲学研究综述

本文从原始文献的编辑整理和基本研究范式的转变两个方面，分别概述西方古代哲学研究和中世纪哲学研究的近30年来的新进展和前沿问题。笔者力图较为全面地呈现晚近古代哲学文献编订整理工作的丰硕成果，同时通过考察当代哲学史家对“何谓古代哲学”、“什么是中世纪哲学”等学科基础问题的讨论，指明在古代和中世纪哲学研究领域，借助分析的手段重构哲学史，同时坚持在历史语境中展开哲学分析，这一崭新的研究方法已经逐渐成为西方学界的主流，极大推进了当代视野下的古代和中世纪哲学研究。     

"唯物史观与当代中国"学术研讨会综述

2006年10月15日,由中山大学马克思主义哲学与中国现代化研究所主办的“唯物史观与当代中国”学术研讨会在广州中山大学隆重举行。来自全国各地和中山大学的数十位代表参加了会议。现将讨论主要内容综述如下:面向中国现实的唯物史观研究复旦大学冯平教授强调要做面向中国的哲学问题研究。她认为,“唯物史观与当代中国”的问题更深一步讲就是理论问题与社会现实之间的张力和关系,如何在这两者之间达成平衡和默契则是关键。冯平教授从自身曾经对于西方价值哲学的关注,到后来关注现实问题的理解与思考,体悟到哲学研究应面对现实真实问题的重要性…     

哲学教育的历史、现状与未来

哲学具有三种基本形态,除了论坛哲学、讲坛哲学之外,还有实践哲学,亦即人们在日常生活中实际所奉行的哲学（“伦常日用之道”）。哲学研究也好,哲学教育也罢,都需要通过实践哲学产生效力,从而在日常生活中发生作用。就此而言,哲学本身确具有教育（“教化”）功能（“无用大用之用”）。只不过哲学教育是相对于哲学研究而言的,讲坛哲学是相...     

黑格尔哲学的导论问题：基于耶拿手稿的文本学研究

学界对黑格尔哲学导论问题的讨论一般是围绕精神现象学与哲学全书之间的关系而展开的，至今尚未达成共识。随着耶拿文献群考据工作的完成，对此问题的研究出现了一个新的面向。黑格尔在1801—1802年《哲学导论》和《逻辑学与形而上学》两部讲义中，首次提出哲学导论之必要性问题，并把导论任务落实在逻辑学中，直至1805—1806年关于现象学的构思才打断了这一做法。本文将研究起点回溯到黑格尔耶拿手稿中的最初导论立场，阐明哲学导论由逻辑学向现象学转变的合法性与必然性，在此基础上，提供一个看待哲学全书与精神现象学之间体系关联性的开放性视角。     

结合西方马克思主义哲学推进马克思主义哲学中国化研究——葛兰西哲学对马克思主义哲学中国化研究的启示

马克思主义哲学中国化研究不仅具有丰厚的国内理论资源,而且有着不可忽视的国外理论资源。其中,国外理论资源既包括东方马克思主义哲学,也包括西方马克思主义哲学。以往,受苏俄马克思主义哲学的影响,我们对东方马克思主义哲学理论资源关注得较多。如今,随着西方马克思主义哲学研究的持续深入,我们有必要进一步结合西方马克思主义哲学推进马克思主义哲学中国化研究。葛兰西哲学是西方马克思主义哲学的一个典型。它启示我们,在马克思主义哲学中国化研究中,要探寻本民族马克思主义哲学的原生形态,研究马克思主义哲学传统的继承与更新,构建当代马克思主义的政治哲学。     

马克思哲学革命的当代启示

马克思哲学智慧是在对传统西方哲学的颠覆和超越过程中得以突显出来的,而从马克思哲学革命中把握马克思哲学所开启的新的哲学范式,以此来寻求它对当前中国社会发展的智慧资源和有益启示,这是马克思哲学当代性研究不可或缺的重要视角。就此而言可以看到:用理性和价值双重尺度考察并拓展时代生活;要立足现实社会关系的合理化真正实现以人为本;发展创新马克思哲学要始终面向现实实践,这些或许是马克思革命带给当代的重大启示。

Philosophy and Chinese Philosophy

Philosophy can be divided into two systems, i.e. the vertical and the horizontal. Characterized with the creation of spirit and the logical evolution of concepts, the vertical system expresses historical reflections on the achievements of human culture. Meanwhile, the horizontal system focuses on the analysis of cognitive activities to explore the nature of subject and object, the elements of knowledge, and the basis of its certainty. Chinese philosophers, such as Hu Shih, Fung Yulan, Zhang Dainian, Mou Zongsan and Zhang Shiying, have previously explored the various definitions of philosophy. Their explorations manifest the internationalization of Chinese philosophy during different eras. This paper defines philosophy as human beings’ awareness of their environment and systematical reflections on their activities and ensuing consequences. As part of world philosophy, Chinese philosophy encapsulates the essence of Chinese culture, as the thinking method of Chinese people, and as a set of thought systems possessing a unique style.     

重拾被遗忘的东方——兼评“东方哲学”与五卷本《东方哲学史》

在当代中国哲学界,东方哲学几乎属于被遗忘的领域:它从学科上被取消,从知识结构上被排除,从价值上被看轻,导致中国哲学界陷入一种中、西二元分立的简约化的格局之中。由中国社会科学院哲学研究所东方哲学研究室组织编写的五卷本《东方哲学史》的问世,对于改变这一状况起到了积极的作用。但是,东方哲学概念该如何理解?相较于西方民族,东方民族有着怎样的思考     

哲学与现实生活

作为时代精神之精华的哲学必定懂得现实生活。哲学与现实生活的关系可以通过哲学与民众、哲学与社会实践、真理与价值、知识与信仰、理性与非理性、哲学家的使命感等问题展开出来。人民大众的实践活动,是哲学智慧的源泉。哲学是人类特有的智慧,其特色就在于它的批判性。对现存事物不合理、不公平因素的否定和批判,唤起人民的觉悟,是哲学的革命性、批判性锋芒的光辉体现。哲学不能故步自封,不应固守单纯知识的领地。应该突破哲学就是认识论的唯科学主义的眼界,向价值的领域、信仰的领域、非理性的领域挺进,开拓思想的自由。哲学家是哲学智慧的人格化,促进文化发展和人的全面发展是哲学家的光荣职责和使命。     

论哲学思维在医学思维活动中的作用

医学思维活动离不开哲学思维的作用。医学思维和哲学思维的主要区别表现和思辨性和抽象性两个方面。虽然哲学思维不能代替医学思维,但是,哲学思维是医学思维的一般前提,医学思想往往由哲学思想过渡而来,医学认识的突破也以哲学思维为先导。医学家自觉运用哲学思维于医学认识之中,将会使医学思维更有效地进行。     

The Place of Philosophy in Africa

Recently there has been a strong movement towards reflections about the “geography of reason,” especially among philosophers who deal with postcolonial thinking. There is also a renewed interest among different schools of thought, both analytical and continental, in the ways our “life world,” or “embodiment,” or “situated cognition,” shape our minds and eventually the philosophy we do. As a result, we have seen some recent publications on the nature and import of the concept of “place” by authors such as Edward Casey, Jeff Malpas, and Bruce Janz. In Philosophy in an African place, Bruce Janz introduces the concept of “philosophy‐in‐place” with the question as to what it is to do philosophy in a particular context of lived experience or, more specifically, what it is to do philosophy in an African place. This paper expands on Janz's “philosophy‐in‐place” by developing what will be called a “philosophy through place.” It starts with Janz's discussion of the problem of placing philosophy and a philosophy‐in‐place. Then it attempts to develop an argument for a “philosophy through place” and its implications for considering the place of philosophy in Africa and the challenge it poses to philosophy.     

On historicity,context and the existence of African philosophy

Abstract

The author reviews the second edition of Philosophy from Africa by comparing it with the first edition and with other anthologies in African philosophy. Questions regarding the existence and identity of African philosophy receive special attention. It is argued that a negation of the existence of African philosophy results from monolithic, ahistorical and decontextualized thinking about Africa and about philosophy. The roots and development of African philosophy are inseparably bound up with the continent’s historical, political, cultural and economic complexities. The challenge facing African philosophers is twofold: deconstructing the notion of philosophy as constructed and conceived by the West; and reconstructing the history of African philosophy.     

Listening to Dialogue

In accordance with Progressivism, Matthew Lipman, introduced an educational model for renewal and change by means of the child. With his Philosophy for Children programme he wished to offer an alternative for the intellectualistic oriented education which silenced children. The answer to the search for freedom and change, Lipman finds in the symbioses between ‘Philosophy’ and ‘Children’. Philosophy expressed in critical thinking and communication, was the basis to emancipate the child from the oppression of the adult and to cause change. According to Lipman the main purpose of philosophy is to free every individual from determination. This plea is being elaborated by dialogue. The main issue of our paper concerns the question whether Lipman’s alternative ‘Philosophy for Children’ can fulfil the promise of change and freedom. To answer this question we will investigate thoroughly where dialogue and change in Philosophy for Children stand for. Finally we will propose another perspective of dialogue. A dialogue stressed on listening. Listening to how the world appears to us and how we appear to ourselves. Nancy Vansieleghem is working on a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Education at the Department of Education at the University of Gent, Belgium. Her main area of research is philosophy of dialogue and public space.     

Facing being: the significance of Thomist ontological epistemology to realism in post-Kantian philosophy

The Kantian ‘Copernican Revolution’ contained in his Prologomena and The Critique of Pure Reason deemed metaphysical statements to be ‘transcendental illusions’, so directing metaphysics to its dearth. As a consequence, no longer could objects be known ‘in-themselves’ by the sensorily-reliant human. This perceived impossibility of metaphysical knowledge in the turn to the subject from Kant through Nietzsche's rejection of true knowledge has heavily inclined Continental Philosophy to an anti-metaphysical quandary. Analytic Philosophy is no different following the influence of Carnap, Wittgenstein and Rorty upon its own ‘linguistic turn’. An inevitable consequence of things not being knowable in themselves is the philosophical distance from ‘the world’, which Stephen Hawking has argued, makes the philosophical enterprise ‘dead’. In dialogue with this widespread decline in metaphysics, I will attempt to reclaim realist metaphysics through the employment of a Thomist paradigm. If philosophy is to be relevant to the knowledge economy, it is compelled to be in relation with what is. Thus, in my theoretical framework, being will be considered as central to all knowledge systems seeking to correspond to ‘hard’ science. The Thomist realist natural philosophy of ‘scientia’ – wherein truth is conformed with being – will be at the core of the argument. This paper challenges the ignoring of being because extant reality is composed of all that is, continuously faced and never evadable. Consequently, Thomism is recaptured as significant to post-Kantian philosophy as Aquinas articulated a means through which the thinking subject engages with being through sensation and cognition.     

On Walter Dubislav

This paper outlines the intellectual biography of Walter Dubislav. Besides being a leading member of the Berlin Group headed by Hans Reichenbach, Dubislav played a defining role as well in the Society for Empirical/Scientific Philosophy in Berlin. A student of David Hilbert, Dubislav applied the method of axiomatic to produce original work in logic and formalist philosophy of mathematics. He also introduced the elements of a formalist philosophy of science and addressed more general problems concerning the substantiation of human knowledge. What set Dubislav apart from the other logical empiricists was his expertise in the history of logic and exact philosophy which enabled him to elucidate and advance the thinking in both disciplines. In the realm of logic proper, Dubislav is best known for his pioneering work in theory of definitions. What is more, he did original work on the so called ‘quasi truth-tables’ which aided Reichenbach in developing his logic of probability. Dubislav also elaborated an influential logic of moral statements.     

HUMANE PHILOSOPHY AND THE QUESTION OF PROGRESS

According to some recent critics, philosophy has not progressed over the course of its history because it has not exhibited any substantial increase in the stock of human wisdom. I reject this pessimistic conclusion by arguing that such criticisms employ a conception of progress drawn from the sciences which is inapplicable to a humanistic discipline such as philosophy. Philosophy should not be understood as the accumulation of epistemic goods in a manner analogous to the natural sciences. I argue that the progressiveness of philosophy consists, if anything, in its capacity to provoke and sustain critical reflections upon the ideas and practices which shape and guide human life.
