【摘要】 本文以刘家和先生新近出版的《史苑学步:史学与理论探研》为中心,结合以往相关研究,从学术史和内在路径两个方面对刘先生关于中西理性结构问题的研究进行梳理分析。刘先生以回应黑格尔等西方学者的理性说为切入点,在深入考察中外历史、史学和理性思维产生过程的基础上,运用历史比较研究方法,提出了理性认识的途径多种多样且各文明之理性结构也存在明显差异的重要论断。刘先生认为,在永恒不变的存在中把握真理的逻辑理性在西方居于主导地位,而在事物的运动变化中把握真理的历史理性则在中国居于主导地位。这两种理性以及两种理性结构之间是一种同中有异、异中有同的交集关系,不仅可以平等对话和相互理解,也能够相互借鉴和相互补充。更多还原

【Abstract】 Professor Liu Jiahe has been studying the problem of Sino-Western reason structures for many years. Based mainly on his new book, this paper provides an overall review and analysis of his studies on this issue. The basic conclusion is that by responding to the challenge of Hegel’s theory about reasons Liu Jiahe made comparative studies on Chinese and Western histories and historiographies, as well as related thoughts about rational thinking. He therefore pointed out that rational thinking could be achieved from different paths and there are different kinds of reasons in world civilizations. The logical reason which grasps the truth from the eternal beings predominates the Western thought, while the historical reason which grasps the truth from the changeable beings predominates the Chinese thought. These two kinds of reasons and rational thinking are not completely contradictory and could be compared to enhance mutual understanding.更多还原
