《周易》自然哲学与生命实践

《周易》蕴涵的自然哲学思想,可谓是一种以生命为隐喻,宇宙论、本体论、价值论统一的生成哲学,它基于道德实践与认识实践统一的生命实践。文章根据《周易》"经"、"传"本身之内涵,按现代哲学表述方法,从源于道德之宇宙论,三才圆通之本体论,知行不二之实践论,生成整体之方法论等方面,阐明中国式自然哲学的特性与意义。指出正是这种独特的自然哲学,不仅开启了中国文化超越的价值之源,为中国古代科学提供了形而上学基础,而且应在21世纪伟大历史转型和中西对话中,共同创造人类不同文化"殊途同归"、"和而不同"的世界生成之序。

Natural Philosophy of Zhouyi and Life Practice

The natural philosophy which is implied in Zhouyi is a philosophy of generation.This is a metaphor for life and the unity of cosmology,ontology and axiology,based on a practice of life which is a unity of moral and cognitive practice.This article suggests that,based on the implications of the original classic text of Zhouyi and its commentaries,the characteristics and meaning of Chinese natural philosophy can be understood through the cosmology of morality,the ontology of unity of heaven,earth and humanity,the theory of practice that integrates knowing with action,and the methodology of wholly generating.I argue that this unique natural philosophy is not only the origin of the transcendental values of Chinese culture,but also the metaphysical foundation of ancient science in China.In the great transformation of history and dialogue between East and West in 21st century,it creates a unity of different cultures of human beings from different ways which are harmonious but not uniform.
