西方哲学的语义诠释与当代语境

亚里士多德提出研究哲学有三个条件：惊讶、闲暇、自由。惊讶是西方哲学＂存在＂意义上的本体论起源,这种起源使西方哲学迈出了由宇宙论向本体论跨越的关键一步;闲暇是面向哲学的一种纯粹向度,这种向度决定了西方哲学与世俗无关而走向形式化的纯粹品性;而自由则体现了西方哲学追求生命之真、追求伦理之善与追求品格之美的统一,它构成现代人性所追求的理想人格,逐渐演变为西方政治思想中的民主诉求。今天,我们可以从亚里士多德研究哲学的三个条件中看到中西哲学德性和知识的根本分野。面向未来,我们正处于一个学习西方、超越西方的心理诉求期,那么我们必将正视这一分野,并从与西方哲学思想的对比中发现自身的缺陷,从中汲取为我所用的东西,以真正实现中华民族的伟大复兴。

Semantic Interpretation and Contemporary Context of Philosophies in the West

Aristotle proposed three elements in philosophic research, namely, surprise, leisure and freedom. Surprise is origin of ontology in western philosophy ＂existence＂ and this origin helped western philosophy take a huge step from cosmology to ontology. Leisure is a pure devotion to philosophy, which predetermined the pure nature of western philosophy towards formalization free from secularization. Freedom embodies the unity of western philosophy＇s pursuit of the truth in life, the virtue of ethics and the moral personality. Freedom constitutes the ideal personality of modern human nature,gradually evolving into a appeal of democracy in western political thoughts. Today, we can see the fundamental distinction of morality and knowledge between Chinese and western philosophy from the three elements of Aristotle＇s ＂Philosophy＂.Facing the future, we are encouraged to learn after and surpass the West. Therefore, we have to face the distinction and find our drawbacks by comparing Chinese and western philosophical thoughts, so as to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
