ABSTRACT In the final decades of the 20th century, the majority of modern Sinophone scholars believed that Confucianism was an outdated and obsolete ideology that was not only unsuitable for the development of modern science and democratic societies, but also responsible for the deep social and political crisis that had branded China for the previous two centuries. Modern New Confucians, however, never assumed that the Confucian system was responsible for such a situation. Most of them believed that Confucianism was compatible with science and democracy. Moreover, the majority of them assumed that the East Asian cultures would never be able to develop truly democratic structures of their societies unless they incorporated the appropriate elements of their own, i.e. Confucian, traditions. This paper critically analyses the theoretical models of Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan on the possible revival and development of Confucian proto-democracies.
摘要在20世纪的最后几十年里,大多数现代华文学者认为,儒家思想是一种过时的意识形态,不仅不适合现代科学和民主社会的发展,而且是前两个世纪给中国带来深刻社会和政治危机的原因。然而,现代新儒家从未认为儒家制度是造成这种情况的原因。他们中的大多数人认为儒家思想与科学和民主是相容的。此外,他们中的大多数人认为,除非东亚文化融入自己的适当元素,即儒家传统,否则东亚文化永远无法发展出真正的民主社会结构。本文批判性地分析了唐君毅、牟宗三关于儒家原始民主可能复兴和发展的理论模式。

ABSTRACT This paper examines the current scholarship on Mengzi’s metaethical thoughts and reconstructs Mengzi’s view to contribute to our understanding of the relation between sensibility and the apparent objectivity of morality. I first overview two features of morality that an adequate metaethical theory needs to account for—the apparent objectivity and the motivational force of moral values, highlighting the potential of Mengzi’s thought to explain both. Then I examine previous reconstructions of Mengzi’s metaethics. Both the naturalism approach and the sensibility theory approach capture important features of Mengzi’s view but have defects. I argue that Mengzi’s view may help revise a sensibility theory that models moral properties on secondary qualities like colors, and thus, preserves the alleged merit of it—being able to account for the two features of morality.
摘要本文考察了当前学术界对孟子元伦理思想的研究,并对孟子的元伦理观进行了重构,以期有助于我们理解道德的感性与表面客观性之间的关系。我首先概述了一个适当的元伦理学理论需要解释的道德的两个特征——道德价值观的表面客观性和动机力,强调了孟子思想对这两个特征的解释潜力。然后考察了以往对孟子元伦理学的重建。自然主义方法和感性理论方法都抓住了孟子思想的重要特征,但也存在缺陷。我认为,孟子的观点可能有助于修正一种感性理论,这种理论将道德属性塑造在颜色等次要品质上,从而保留了它所谓的优点——能够解释道德的两个特征。

Flowers in a mirror: Critique of ‘Confucianization of law’ 镜中花:对“法律儒家化”的批判

ABSTRACT The theory of ‘Confucianization of law’ put forward by T’ung-tsu Ch’ü in his book titled Law and Society in Traditional China has a great academic influence in the world. However, ‘Confucianization of law’ is like ‘flowers in a mirror’ because its concept is too one-sided and ambiguous to describe ancient Chinese legal philosophy. Although it once has helped non-Chinese understand ancient Chinese legal philosophy, it is essentially a hypothesis of Ch’ü after reading limited historical materials and easily leading to a simple understanding of the dichotomy of Confucianism and Legalism in ancient Chinese legal philosophy. To distinguish the origin, concept, and related disputes of ‘Confucianization of law’ is helpful to discover the multicultural background of ancient Chinese legal philosophy and find the fact that Confucianism itself is alienated by politics. From the perspective of political pragmatism, there is no difference between Confucianism and Legalism in essence, but in means.
摘要汤在《传统中国的法律与社会》一书中提出的“法的儒家化”理论在世界范围内具有重要的学术影响。然而,“法的儒家化”就像“镜中花”,因为它的概念过于片面和模糊,无法描述中国古代的法律哲学。虽然它曾经帮助非中国人理解了中国古代法哲学,但它本质上是Ch’ü在阅读了有限的史料后的一种假设,很容易导致对中国古代法哲中儒法二分法的简单理解。厘清“法儒化”的渊源、概念及相关争议,有助于揭示中国古代法哲学的多元文化背景,发现儒家思想本身被政治异化的事实。从政治实用主义的角度来看,儒家和法家在本质上没有区别,只是在手段上有区别。

ABSTRACT Shi is fundamental and indispensable in understanding Han Fei’s political philosophy. Han Feizi presents a political term with different meanings such as power, status, and situation. Han Fei’s doctrine of Shi attempts to consolidate and strengthen the prince’s Shi by limiting the subjects’ status and power. Any knighthood or government position must be granted by following suitable inheritance principles or appointment rules. The actual dominance of any person must be strictly matched with their rank of nobility or seniority of position. This hierarchy of dominance puts the prince at the top with unmatched power, who can then engage in coercion to eliminate anyone who is not submissive, and create terror to effectively control the subjects.
“石”是理解韩非政治哲学的基础和不可或缺的因素。韩非子是一个具有权力、地位、处境等多种含义的政治术语。韩非的“仕”学说试图通过限制臣民的地位和权力来巩固和加强“仕”。任何爵位或政府职位都必须按照适当的继承原则或任命规则授予。任何人的实际支配地位必须与其贵族地位或地位的年资严格匹配。这种统治等级将君主置于至高无上的地位,拥有无与伦比的权力,他可以用强制手段消灭任何不服从的人,并制造恐怖来有效地控制臣民。

ABSTRACT The significant role of skill in Zhuangzi’s good life has been argued by most Zhuangzi scholars. However, there is ongoing debate concerning the psychological and behavioral mechanisms that underwrite the skillful activity and the way it contributes to a good life. Based on previous research, this paper makes a comparative study between Buddhism, Daoism, and Stoicism. The aim is to prove that practical wisdom, which involves both reflection and spontaneity, plays a helpful role in understanding Zhuangzian skillful activity by connecting skilled performance to the wise way of living. Importantly, this can be compared to the Buddhist teachings of skillful (kusala) action and skillful means (upāya) as well as the Stoic account of skill (technē) and art of life. A three-way comparison shows that skillful activity is deeply bound up with practical wisdom in the three traditions, which enables one to act appropriately and live skillfully.
技巧在庄子美好生活中的重要作用,历来为庄子学者所争论。然而,关于支持这种有技巧的活动的心理和行为机制以及它对美好生活的贡献,仍有争论。本文在前人研究的基础上,对佛道斯多葛主义进行了比较研究。其目的是证明实践智慧,包括反思和自发性,通过将熟练的表演与明智的生活方式联系起来,对理解庄子的熟练活动起到了有益的作用。重要的是,这可以与佛教关于有技巧的(kusala)行动和有技巧的手段(upāya)的教义,以及斯多葛学派关于技巧和生活艺术的描述相比较。三方比较表明,在三种传统中,熟练的活动与实践智慧有着深刻的联系,使人能够恰当地行动,熟练地生活。

Nishida Kitarō and Muhammad ‘Abduh on God and reason: Towards a theology of place 西田北辰和穆罕默德·阿布杜论上帝与理性:走向地方神学

ABSTRACT I compare the Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitaro (1870–1945) with the Egyptian philosopher and reformer Muhammad ‘Abduh (1849–1905). Both philosophies emerged within similar cultural contexts. Both thinkers attempt to think relationships between the individual and the universal through organic models. In parallel, both philosophies produce paradoxical positions regarding the integration of reason and religion. Like ‘Abduh, Nishida is interested in the unity of God. How do we have to think the unity of God when every unity is only composed of individuals? ‘Abduh avoids Aristotelian substances by claiming that the physical world emerges. Similarly, Nishida thinks that the world emerges as a place (basho). Both conceptions contradict Aristotelian logic because both avoid the idea of identity, which is necessary for any abstract logic.
本文将日本哲学家西田北太郎(1870-1945)与埃及哲学家、改革家穆罕默德·阿布杜(1849-1905)进行比较。这两种哲学都出现在相似的文化背景中。两位思想家都试图通过有机模型来思考个体与普遍之间的关系。与此同时,两种哲学在理性与宗教的融合方面都产生了矛盾的立场。像Abduh一样,西田对上帝的统一性很感兴趣。当每一个统一体都只是由个体组成时,我们该如何思考上帝的统一体呢?Abduh通过声称物质世界的出现来避免亚里士多德的实体。同样,西田认为世界以一个地方(basho)的形式出现。这两个概念都与亚里士多德逻辑相矛盾,因为它们都避免了同一性的概念,而同一性是任何抽象逻辑所必需的。

ABSTRACT I bring a new thesis of historical holism to bear on the well-known Mencius-Xunzi dispute about xing/性. The significance of doing so seems bi-directional: in the first direction, i.e. applying the thesis to the dispute, my reconstruction of both Mencius’s and Xunzi’s views aims at revealing a largely neglected but important aspect of Confucian thought. While in the second direction, whoever is otherwise convinced by the Mencian insight may find its successful reconstruction as a case of historical holism good evidence for the thesis itself, which seems ground-breaking in certain areas of contemporary analytic philosophy. The paper largely focuses on the first direction, with quite detailed exposition of key analytic elements for understanding historical holism. A notion of retrospective necessity stands out in the exposition, supporting the main idea of path-bound normativity which turns out to be, for our present case, a notion of implicit and endogenous normativity.
本文从历史整体论的角度对著名的孟子-荀子之争进行了研究。这样做的意义似乎是双向的:在第一个方向上,即将论点应用于争论,我对孟子和荀子观点的重建旨在揭示儒家思想中一个很大程度上被忽视但重要的方面。而在第二个方向上,任何被孟西亚的洞察力所说服的人可能会发现,作为历史整体论的一个案例,它的成功重建是论文本身的一个很好的证据,这在当代分析哲学的某些领域似乎是开创性的。本文主要侧重于第一个方向,对理解历史整体论的关键分析要素进行了相当详细的阐述。回顾必要性的概念在论述中脱颖而出,支持路径约束规范性的主要观点,对于我们目前的情况,这是一个隐含的和内生的规范性的概念。

Sage and great person in Zhang Zai’s thought 张载思想中的圣人与伟人

ABSTRACT The idea of the Confucian sage-king can be politically dangerous if the implication is that anyone can become a sage through learning. But Confucians after the Han dynasty generally saw the task of becoming a sage practically impossible, while Neo-Confucians after the Song distinguished between the moral and the political authorities. Zhang Zai of the Northern Song dynasty, however, maintained both that anyone can become a sage through learning and that a sage should necessarily receive Heaven’s mandate. But Zhang had a unique concept of a ‘great person,’ which enabled him to escape the seemingly inevitable conclusion that anyone can become a king. For Zhang, a great person is practically indistinguishable from a sage, meaning that no one can testify to another person’s sagehood. This makes any claim to the political authority based on virtue groundless. Thus, despite preserving the ideal of a sage-king, Zhang Zai could deny virtually all means of replacing the current king.
如果儒家圣人王的思想意味着任何人都可以通过学习成为圣人,那么它在政治上可能是危险的。但汉代以后的儒家普遍认为成为圣人的任务实际上是不可能的,而宋以后的新儒家则区分道德权威和政治权威。然而,北宋的张载既认为任何人都可以通过学习成为圣人,也认为圣人必须接受天命。但张有一个独特的“伟人”概念,这使他逃脱了一个看似不可避免的结论,即任何人都可以成为国王。对张来说,一个伟人和一个圣人几乎没有区别,这意味着没有人能证明另一个人的圣人。这使得任何基于美德的政治权威的主张都是毫无根据的。因此,尽管张载保留了圣王的理想,但他几乎可以否定取代现任国王的一切手段。

ABSTRACT To advance our understanding of both the Book of Zhuāngzǐ 莊子 (c. fourth to third century BCE) and Qián Mù 錢穆 (1895–1990)’s Zhuāngzǐ studies 莊學, I aim to squarely face one of the more obscure passages in the former with recourse to an explanation from the latter. The passage in question is that from the second chapter beginning with the claim ‘there is a beginning’ (有始也者) and culminating with the claim that ‘there has not yet begun to be a “there has not yet begun to be nothing”’ (有未始有夫未始有無也者). I hope to show that Qián offers a compelling and novel interpretation of this difficult passage worthy of our consideration.
为了增进我们对Zhuāngzǐ《西传》(公元前4世纪至公元前3世纪)和Qián Mù《》(1895-1990)Zhuāngzǐ《西传》研究的理解,我的目标是直接面对前者中较晦涩的段落之一,并求助于后者的解释。所讨论的段落是从第二章开始,声称“有一个开始”(有一个开始),并以声称“还没有开始有一个“还没有开始没有任何东西”(有一个开始)结束。”我希望表明Qián对这段值得我们考虑的困难段落提供了令人信服和新颖的解释。

ABSTRACT In this paper, I argue that Miki’s concept of myth offers a continuation and consolidation of his Philosophy of History (1932), providing an important conceptual tool to comprehend his philosophical project. To understand Miki’s originality, it is important to contrast his conception of history with that of Rickert’s, one of Miki’s professors during his stay in Germany. Although scholarship about the Kyōto School does not mention these texts, between 1932 and 1935, Miki’s writing focuses on the importance of myth as a manifestation of the historical consciousness during periods of social crisis. Thus, myth, as a form of knowledge tied to the most fundamental ontological level of human existence (that Miki calls ‘fact’), was able to serve as an operationalization of social change.
本文认为,三木的神话观是对其1932年《历史哲学》的延续和巩固,为理解其哲学计划提供了重要的概念工具。为了理解三木的独创性,重要的是将他的历史观与三木在德国期间的教授里克特的历史观进行对比。尽管关于Kyōto学派的学术没有提到这些文本,但在1932年至1935年间,三木的写作侧重于神话作为社会危机时期历史意识表现的重要性。因此,神话作为一种与人类存在的最基本本体论层面(三木称之为“事实”)相关的知识形式,能够作为社会变革的操作。
