印度的婆罗门教、佛教与中国的儒家、道家

印度的婆罗门教和中国的儒家学说都有着维护社会秩序、延续既有文明、创造符号体系的建构功能 ;与此相对立 ,印度的佛家和中国的道家学说则以反向解构的姿态分别对婆罗门教和儒家学说在民族文化的建构过程中所导致的异化现象进行了深刻的批判。这种建构与解构的关系体现了追求文明与反抗异化、积极进取与消极无为、崇尚秩序与回归自然之间的辩证关系。作为这种逻辑关系的历史性发展 ,印度宗教文化从婆罗门教到佛教再到印度教的发展过程 ,与中国世俗文化中儒家和道家之间的彼此更迭 ,都形成着“否定之否定”式的阶段性变革。

Indian Brahmanism and Buddhism Versus China's Confucianism and Taoism

Both Confucianism and Brahmanism have played a creative role in vindicating social order, in continuing culture and in constructing symbol systems as well; while, on the contrary, Taoism and Buddhism, as two diametrically different doctrines, have both deeply animadverted, from the opposite perspective and with a deconstruction gesture, on the dissimilations brought about by Confucianism and Brahmanism during the configuration of their ethical cultures. The relationship between construction and deconstruction demonstrates a dialectical relationship between the aspiration for enlightenment and the opposition against alienation, between action and inaction, between upholding order and returning to nature. As its historical and logical development, a step-by-step transformation of "the negation of the negation" has come out of the growth of Indian religious culture from Brahmanism to Buddhism, and then to Hinduism, and the alternation between Confucianism and Taoism in China's seclude culture.
