从东西方的历史观看中国传统哲学的前景

在当代社会,人们尽管对中国传统哲学中的天人合一等表现出越来越多的认同,但在本质上仍然是以西方的价值观为前提的,这就是历史的进步发展的观念.与此不同,中国传统的历史观却渗透着一种循环和流转,它也不仅仅具有消极的意义,而是意味着宇宙中两种力量的变迁.假如我们要真正地认识中国传统哲学的价值,也许要回到东方的立场.这样东西方的关系不过是阴性和阳性两种力量的对立和消长.当西方处于兴盛期时,它以排斥和否定的态度来看待东方,并在人类中心、西方中心的观念中相信历史的进步,但当西方衰落的时候,东方哲学的影响便增加了.

The Difference and Rotation of the Culture of the Chinese Tradition and Western World in the View of Philosophy of History

There is much interesting in Chinese traditional culture in the contemporary society, but it is still on the standpoint of Western values in which history will be progressing and developing. On the contrary, in ancient China there was a conception of historicism that means the contraction and rotation of two forces in the universe. From this point, there are human chauvinism and androcentrism when the Western world is growing and return to the influence of the Orient when the Western world is declining.
