西方文化现代性的本质是理性精神。西方文化来源于注重理性的希腊精神和注重神启的非理性的希伯来精神。中世纪时期神启的非理性占据了主要地位,而文艺复兴之后则理性占据了主要地位。儒学遭遇现代性,需要处理两个问题:其一是体证的非理性容纳理性,其二是理性与非理性关系的处理。儒学只有在此意义上,才可以不失其本旨地与西方现代性予以对接,同时对西方现代性作出儒家式的解释并提出纠偏的建议。
The essence of western cultural modernity is the rational spirit. Western culture comes from a rational Greek spirit and an irrational Hebrew spirit that focuses on the divine. The irrationality of divine revelation occupied the main position in the Middle Ages, but the rational occupy the main position after the Renaissance. Confucianism encounters modernity and needs to deal with two problems: one is irrationality of physical evidence to accommodate rationality; and the other is the handling of the relationship between reason and irrationality. Only in this sense, can Confucianism connect with western modernity without losing its essence, at the same time make a Confucian interpretation of Western modernity and put forward suggestions for correcting it.
