论中西精神与哲学家的幸福--赠朱金高先生及其同仁和所有热爱西方哲学的人们

本文认为,中西哲学家在人生幸福方面有很大的不同。在西方,马克思主义阵营以外的哲学家有很多都没有良好的家庭关系和社会关系,很多人都有忧郁症、疑病症和畏惧遗传病等病态性倾向,不少人甚至有近于“发疯的内心痛苦”,进而有严重的自杀倾向;他们的人生是不幸的、痛苦的。西方的分析思维使西方哲学家比中国哲学家更注重个体,往往把自己从集体和社会中独立出来,同时,西方哲学家又因过分看重细节,喜欢深入研究,遇事往往爱钻牛角尖,时常陷入死胡同不能自拔,其哲学观点也有很多不科学、不全面的地方,这是西方哲学家精神痛苦的哲学根源。中国的综合思维则使中国哲学家更具整体意识,因而能更好地把握人和自然的关系而有所侧重,其哲学更贴近社会人生;中国的集体主义和社会主义精神则使中国哲学家性情优良,他们有良好的家庭关系和社会关系,其人生也比西方哲学家幸福。因此,热爱西方哲学的人们,应该更加注重中国哲学的精神,这是哲学家人生幸福的关键所在。

On Chinese and Western Spirits and the Happiness of Philosophers--Dedicated to Mr Zhu Jingao and all those who ardently love western philosophy

the author of this paper thinks that the Chinese philosophers are greatly different from the western philosophers in human happiness. Except Marxists, in western countries, because of bad domestic or social relationship, most philosophers either suffer from melancholia, hypochondriasis and the fear of hereditary disease or have morbid psychology. In addition, many of them nearly have "heartfelt bitterness which causes madness", which may contribute to the tendency of committing suicide, so their lives are full of misfortune and pain. The source of spiritual poignancy of the western philosophers lies in their analytic thinking which focuses on the individual and thus isolates themselves from collectiveness and society and their study methods which focuses on details and thus may lead them to dead end streets and the non - science and one-sided views. While because of the comprehensive thinking, the Chinese philosophers' thoughts pay more attention to reflect the relationship between human being and nature from the concept of viewing the situation as a whole. And it is Chinese collectivism and socialism that make Chinese philosophers have good temper and good domestic and social relationship which lead to their much happier lives. So, the persons who ardently love western philosophy should pay more attention to Chinese philosophical spirit--the key point of the philosopher's happiness.
