“述而不作”与“辞达而已”均出自《论语》,且都是富含诠释学精诣的命题,前人多分别进行过论述。今将两者放在同一个诠释学理论的平台上,以求更好地揭示出这两个命题间的内在关系。我们今人对“述而不作”的理解是建立在“辞达而已”的基础之上的,“述而不作”对元典或经典的诠释态度最终凝结于语言得以表现,“辞达而已”恰好囊括了我们对“述而不作”诠释的维度。 Both “without commenting” and “resigning only” come from “The Analects of Confucius” and are all propositions rich in hermeneutics. Today, both will be put on the same platform of hermeneutic theory in order to better reveal the intrinsic relationship between these two propositions. Our present understanding of “not doing” is based on “resignation only”, and the expression of “no comment on the dictionary” or “canonization” finally condenses in the expression of language. It just covers the dimension of our interpretation of “without comment.”
