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.     

中国哲学在俄罗斯 --20世纪90年代俄罗斯的中国哲学研究

在俄罗斯,对中国哲学的研究要追溯到18世纪.俄罗斯第一批汉学家把儒家的早期经典<大学>、<中庸>翻译成俄语出版(<大学>译本在1780年问世,<中庸>译本于1784年问世).俄罗斯现代著名汉学家维·费·费奥克蒂斯托夫甚至认为,俄罗斯的汉学正是从出版这两本哲学著作开始的.[1]到了19～20世纪,俄罗斯汉学大学者И.比丘林、В.П.瓦西里耶夫、П.С.波波夫、В.М.阿列克谢耶夫、Н.И.康拉德、Ю.к.休茨基、А.А.彼得罗夫都对中国哲学倾注了极大的热情,除了坚持不懈地研究中国哲学,更是不遗余力地宣传中国哲学.     

博物学能给中医带来什么

博物学是指关于现实生活中具体物质世界的综合实用知识。在对中医药学的科学性评价中,有学者从博物学传统的回归入手加以论述,但科学从来不是静止不动的,而是不断向前发展的,博物学毕竟是前科学时代的产物,它的性质如何,它能给中医药学带来什么,这都是需要正确审视的．

会通与融合--马克思主义哲学、中国传统哲学与西方哲学的互动

马克思主义哲学、中国传统哲学与西方哲学的会通与融合,正在成为当前中国哲学界关注的热点问题。对此,我谈谈三点看法,抛砖引玉,以就教于方家。一问题的背景从1840年“鸦片战争”以后,中国逐步融入世界,开始启动现代化的进程。在思想界,介绍传播西方思想与哲学成为时尚,首先是达尔文的进化论,进而是培根、笛卡尔以来的近代西方经验主义和理性主义,然后是追本溯源,从古希腊苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德到德国古典哲学家康德、黑格尔等人的整个西方哲学思想经典,在中国都得到介绍与研究。1917年俄国“十月革命”胜利以后,马克思主义哲学作为…     

Growth,Experience and Nature in Dewey's Philosophy and Chinese Philosophy

Growth is an important concept in Dewey's philosophy,and,indeed,its ultimate focus.It is not,however,an easy task to posit growth as an ethical ideal,for here Dewey immediately faces a metaphysical dilemma:whether to offer us an objective standard of growth,which becomes a type of absolutism,or to inevitably fall into relativism.This paper explores how Dewey avoids this dilemma with his concept of experience,which is interrogated through the relationship between human beings and nature.Still,human growth in nature involves the cultivation of virtuosities (de德) in accordance with the rhythm of nature,and requires a completely different way of life other than our technological one.For this reason,I use Chinese philosophy,specifically ideas from the Yijing,to show how growth can be illustrated through the interaction between humans and the natural world.

Ontology and Metaphysics in Chinese Philosophy

This paper begins with a critique of the uses of the term "bentilun 體論 (ontology)" in modem Chinese scholarship by tracing their claim to being theoretical paradigms for understanding Chinese philosophy as a philosophical tradition.It is supplemented by a contrastive discussion of bentilun and its original ancient Greek counterpart,i.e.ontology,to show that the object of discourse in bentilun does not match up with that of ontology,namely "being qua being." This comparative study also demonstrates that bentilun finds its philosophical significance in connection with the theory of xinxing心性(heart-mind).In the second section of this paper,a comparative study of "xingershangxue形而上學 (metaphysics)" and "metaphysics" highlights the central tenet that the dao essentially transcends language.Daoist philosophy is used as an example that identifies a unique predilection toward philosophical concepts that transcend the realm of nameable thoughts and objects in Chinese philosophy.Textual evidence is provided to show that the conceptual possibility of xingershangxue is based upon a fundamental difference between you (being) and wu無 (not-being),in a way that is similar to philosophical developments in other early civilizations.Nonetheless,in addition to a philosophical interest in principles and values that transcend the material world,Daoist xingershangxue exhibits an idiosyncratic attention to notions and theories whose object of discourse is essentially unnameable.This characteristic philosophical interest is identified with the aim of locating essential disciplines within Chinese philosophy,including the theory of xinxing,practical wisdom,and the theory of jingjie境界 (state-of-attainment) in a wider framework of east and west philosophical traditions.     

周易与中国古典管理

周易之“周”,不仅指周代,更强调“周遍”.其意一是彰明易道之“广大悉备”,二在昭示易道兼具思想传扬与文化传承之功能.为此,我主张凡提周易,其不用书名号者,所示既包栝《易经》、《易传》两书,又涵摄《易经》到《易传》的思想文化发展系列.基于这样的考虑,本文联系先秦诸子学派演变进化的背景,聚焦管理思想的层面,探讨“周易管理学(管理《易》)”的形成机制、内容特质和思想资源,力图在源头处和基因点上,阐述周易对“中国古典管理”的精神特质、思维模式、价值观念、实践智慧等方面的塑造与培育.     

Chinese Philosophy Education at Peking University

1 Introduction Philosophy is no more a favorite subject for students at Peking University than it is for students at other universities around the world,even if many of them enjoy philosophy courses.Presently,the Department of Philosophy at Peking University enrolls an average of forty-five freshmen1 each year,though most of them do not take philosophy as their major.     

中国近代学人对哲学的理解

“哲学”一词对中国学人来说,是舶来之语。哲学这一学科也是在近代中、西学术的冲突与交融中逐渐构建并发展起来的。中国学人对哲学的理解与认识经历了一个从引进外来术语,到理解诠释,再到确立自身的哲学体系的过程。追溯中国学人对哲学的认识过程,可以帮助我们把握中国近代哲学学科的建设思路及其某些特点,对新世纪中国哲学的学科建设不无裨益。
