The most urgent task of Chinese philosophy in the 21st century is the new philosophy of constructing a new philosophy that belongs to this era。About how to construct Chinese new philosophy,Scholars studying Chinese traditional philosophy discussed a lot from the "method" dimension,Most of them involve how to treat、Use Chinese and Western philosophy problems。In this sense,We can also say that scholars discuss the method of constructing new Chinese philosophy,Rough discussion from the level of philosophical resources。From the perspective of scholars,Basically, it is Hu Shi's "History of Chinese Philosophy"、The views mentioned by Feng Youlan in "History of Chinese Philosophy" and "New Confucianism",and Zhang Yinian's "comprehensive" development of "creation" proposed in the 1930s。Because the academic community has more research on Zhang Jiannian's "comprehensive" in the academic community,and Hu Shi、Feng Youlan's views rarely talk about,I think it is necessary to discuss Hu Shi、Feng Youlan's method of constructing Chinese new philosophy。

Method for building a new Chinese philosophy,Hu Shi wrote in the future development of Chinese philosophy and the future development of Chinese philosophy: "Our academic thought today,There are two sources: on the one hand, the ancient books passed to us by Sinologists;。After the two trends are converged,,If China cannot produce a new philosophy of China,That is really disappointing this good opportunity。”

From Hu Shi's view,Construction of Chinese new philosophy,From the perspective of philosophical resources,Both traditional Chinese philosophy,Use Western philosophy,You need to take the path of "convergence" of Chinese and Western philosophy; you must not adhere to traditional Chinese philosophy,Simply bet365 Play online games deny Western philosophy,Try to simply develop Chinese new philosophy from traditional Chinese philosophy,It is not possible to discard traditional Chinese philosophy,Simple "hug" Western philosophy,Try to simply develop Chinese new philosophy from Western philosophy。

Construction of China's new philosophy of constructing Chinese philosophy through the convergence of Chinese and Western philosophy,How to conform to Chinese and Western philosophy,also involved the status of Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy。Specifically,Based on Chinese philosophy,Mainly Chinese philosophy,Absorb Western philosophy; still based on Western philosophy,Mainly Western philosophy,Absorbing Chinese philosophy; or equal emphasis on Chinese and Western philosophy,Treatment of Chinese and Western philosophy equally、For these。For these,Hu Shi did not make a clear explanation。

From the perspective of the "experimental" philosophy system built by Hu Shi later,He obviously did not build his own philosophy in accordance with the method of constructing Chinese new philosophy he proposed,Instead, the method of simply using Western philosophy,That is, on the Western philosophy,Methods constructed according to the way of "Westernization"。This method is consistent with the argument that it advocates a full westernization on cultural issues。From Hu Shi's exposition on the method of building a method of building a new Chinese philosophy,What he said through the "convergence" of Chinese and Western philosophy to build a method of constructing Chinese new philosophy,Comprehensive innovation with some scholars later、Methods such as merging Central and Western Malaysia are essentially consistent,All hope to use the essence of all human philosophy to construct Chinese new philosophy。

"New Bottle New Wine" 

Feng Youlan divided the stages of Chinese philosophy from the "Child School" from the Spring and Autumn Period to the early Western Han Dynasty in "History of Chinese Philosophy" and the "Classics Times" from the bet365 live casino games Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty,Divided Chinese philosophy as "Mainly"、The form of "Zixue" and "supplemented by me"、According to the "scripture" form in the classics and even "scriptures"; it is believed that in the construction method,Zixue is out of nothing,Scripture studies are middle -born,Like "Old Bottle New Wine"。

Broken in the old bottle of classics、Under the end of the school period,Feng Youlan imagined: "The new era in the history of Chinese philosophy,Starting at the end of the period of the classics。The so -called ‘下’,This is also the example。"This means,Future Chinese new philosophy will no longer be the form of science,The characteristics of no solution,Instead, it has the nature of sub -learning; the construction method of new Chinese philosophy in the future is from the perspective of philosophical resources.,It is not even based on Western philosophy,but "Create out of thin air","Nothing to be born",belongs to "New Bottle New Wine"。This construction method is consistent with the construction method of child learning。but but,This construction method that Feng Youlan said is not a complete exclusion of existing philosophy of China and the West,It just requires that the existing philosophy institutes、bond,This is to pay attention。

Unfortunately,Feng Youlan did not build this method when constructing his philosophy system。He recalled: "When I wrote" New Confucianism in Nanyue ",Jin Yuelin is also writing his philosophical work,Some of our main points are the same,But he is not going to Cheng、Zhu Lixue said。I am an old bottle of new wine,He is a new bottle of new wine。"From the memories of Feng Youlan,Feng Youlan then "speaks",It is based on the foundation of science to construct its philosophical system- "Xin Confucianism",This is actually the construction method of classics,belongs to "Old Bet365 app download Bottle New Wine",instead of the method of "new bottle new wine" that you imagine。

"Next" 

In the "Int Theory" of "New Confucianism",The method of Feng Youlan's theory of constructive philosophy: "The system we are talking about now,Generally speaking, the Confucianism in the Song and Ming Taoism。We say ‘general’,Because at many points,We also have science with the Song and Ming dynasties,The difference between the same difference。We say ‘undertaking’,Because we are the philosophy of science since the Song and Ming dynasties,not ‘according to the philosophy of science since the Song and Ming dynasties。So,Our system is our system as a new rationality。"" What makes people feel a little regrettable is,Feng Youlan did not intend to abstract it on this basis、Refine、Summary as the method of constructing Chinese new philosophy。

From Feng Youlan's view,The philosophical system he built is not the repeated and described theory of science,Instead of the development and play of science; the philosophical system he built is based on the product of science,Science is the growth point of its philosophy。In other words,Feng Youlan believes that he can build his own philosophical system,From the level of philosophical resources, it is based on science,Absorb the essence,Do creative development,So new philosophy。Including it,Feng Youlan believes that the construction of Chinese new philosophy can be based on a specific faction in Confucianism,It can also be based on factions other than Confucianism in Chinese philosophy,This depends on what the constructor wants to "follow" what philosophy speaks。This indicates,Where Feng Youlan,The construction of Chinese new philosophy does not require the convergence of Chinese and Western philosophy,As long as the new treatment of Chinese philosophy is treated。

Of course,We can also further interpret the method of building Feng Youlan to construct Chinese Bet365 lotto review new philosophy,The way to build a new Chinese philosophy is based on a certain school,Just absorb the essence of this school's ideological essence,Innovate it for it。And this school can be Confucian,It can also be a school outside Confucianism; it can be China,It can also be western。but but,Considering Feng Youlan with Chinese philosophy、Chinese culture -based position,This further interpretation is likely to violate Feng Youlan’s original intention,At most, it can be regarded as Feng Youlan's method of constructing new philosophy。

Looking back,Although Feng Youlan believes that the new science that he built is "the Scholar of Scholar since the Song and Ming dynasties",But this does not mean that when it builds a new rational system, it only uses the resources of science,No need for other philosophical resources,Just indicate that the construction of the new rational system is based on the position of Confucianism,Using Confucianism as the foundation。Actually,Feng Youlan used the ideas such as Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism,That is to say, almost all of the resources that use Chinese philosophy to be useful in him。This shows that Feng Youlan’s new science is developed from science,It is also developed from Chinese philosophy。Another,Feng Youlan Constructs Xin Confucianism, although it is "Specification of Scholar since the Song and Ming Dynasties",But the marks of Western philosophy such as new realism in them are still obvious。This description,In the process of constructing Chinese new philosophy,Even based on Chinese philosophy,It cannot ignore the role of Western philosophy; the so -called based on Chinese philosophy,Not completely excluded Western philosophy。

From Feng Youlan's exposition on the method of constructing Chinese new philosophy,Feng Youlan's "Specification of Scholar since the Song and Ming Dynasties",Taking Chinese philosophy as a foothold,As some scholars advocated the development of new philosophy from bet365 Play online games the internal philosophy of Chinese philosophy,It is essentially the same。

From the above, we can know,Hu Shi in "History of Chinese Philosophy"、Feng Youlan's discussion in "The History of Chinese Philosophy" on the method of constructing Chinese new philosophy is conscious,I want to build rules for people to construct Chinese new philosophy,It is universal; Feng Youlan's exposition in "New Confucianism" on the method of building Chinese new philosophy is unconscious,It is based on the construction of its own philosophical system,It has special characteristics。Hu Shi in "History of Chinese Philosophy"、Feng Youlan's discussion in "History of Chinese Philosophy" about the method of constructing Chinese new philosophy is the proposed by them before they construct their philosophy,I hope that people can build the philosophical system in accordance with the way they propose,But they did not do that; Feng Youlan's exposition in "New Confucianism" about the method of building Chinese new philosophy is the proposed by its philosophical system,It belongs to a summary afterwards,He is the practitioner himself。Hu Shi、Feng Youlan as studying in the United States、Scholars from Chinese and Western,The expositions of their methods of building Chinese new philosophy involved how to treat Chinese and Western philosophy, especially Western philosophy。Hu Shi obviously holds a "hug" attitude towards Western philosophy,Try to make full use of Western philosophy to transform Chinese philosophy,Construction of Chinese new philosophy with Western philosophy; although Feng Youlan is open to Western philosophy,But it is trying to moderate Western philosophy on the premise of maintaining the inherent "taste" of Chinese philosophy,Construction of Chinese new philosophy with Chinese characteristics。Hu Shi、Feng Youlan knows,Construction of Chinese new philosophy is inseparable from Western philosophy。
