现有的"中国哲学"确实存在诸多问题,但是其中最深层、最根本的却是哲学观问题。哲学观念与研究方法,既有不同的一面,更有不离与不二的一面。因为哲学史的理解与叙述总是依据叙述者的哲学观而展开,哲学观的不同决定了其诠释与建构的差异,由此便有了标准与原则问题。笔者以为中国哲学史的建构与诠释必须遵从和体现中国哲学的民族性,并将民族性与现代学科性结合起来。哲学即悟道是中国哲学固有之哲学观,而价值的中道性、思维的圆融性、结构的整体性都统摄于形态的意象性之中,这便是本文所谓"意象哲学",也是中国哲学之特质,亦是中国哲学的民族性。
The existing"Chinese philosophy"does have quite a few unsolved problems,of which the most fundamental one is related to the philosophical perspective.Though different in some aspects,the philosophical research method and the philosophical perspective are closely related because the interpretation and narration of the history of philosophy always relies on the narrator's perspective of philosophy while different perspectives lead to the differences in interpretation and construction that result in different criteria and principles.This paper holds that the construction and interpretation of the history of Chinese philosophy should follow and embody the ethnicity of Chinese philosophy and then integrate its ethnicity with its disciplinary features in modern times.To understand the truth is an essential element of Chinese philosophy,while the values following the Doctrine of the Mean,thinking in a syncretistic way and the structural entirety all find expression in form-related images,that is,the philosophy of image which is the essence and ethnicity of Chinese philosophy as well.
