摘要 「漢語哲學」的提出受到多方質疑，這個概念能否成立更依賴於對「漢語世界」本身的理解與分析。「漢語世界」作為某個層次「生活世界」的具體呈現，作為語言即世界邊界的體現，作為某種思想傳統的承載者，對其進行的哲學反思在當代哲學中應該有其獨特的理論價值。在這個意義上，「漢語哲學」的建構與「漢語世界」的分析是同一回事。基於此的「漢語哲學」，既是對哲學領域中西方中心主義的超越，也是對「漢語世界」思想潛力的釋放。它並非要將自身封閉於某種解釋框架中，在其歷史演進中，會不斷接納異質文化的影響，在與佛教、與西學的碰撞中，「漢語世界」有著自身嬗變的形態，並呈現出其「容納」人類世界的獨特形態。基於此，「漢語哲學」的任務不是要確立一種課題式的研究任務，而是循著「漢語世界」自身變遷所給出的種種線索，來確立「漢語哲學」的任務。其首要任務是探究「漢語世界」作為人類的生存樣態，其「本源性思想」的特質，澄清當下「漢語世界」作為混雜現實性的複雜結構，考察「漢語世界」作為一種跨文化形態的「容納力」，最終幫助人類更好地迎接「未來挑戰」。

 

UM Philosophy Forum Distinguished Scholars Series – 9
Theme To Speak the Unspeakable – The Wisdom of the Unsayable in the Chinese Tradition

Discussants Prof. Xiangchen Sun (Professor of School of Philosophy, Head of the Division of Humanities, Fudan University);

Abstract The mode of speaking about the unspeakable is a paradox – the saying of the unsayable is a contradiction in terms, after all. Regarding wisdom, this paradoxical mode of speaking leads to themes such as “wisdom as non-wisdom”, “knowledge as ignorance” etc. Hence, the paper foremost deals with such paradoxes or contradictions in itself. There are two parts: The first part discusses the “Western tradition” of “Saying the Unsayable” from the ancient Greek to the modern period (such as in Scepticism). The second part deals with the respective mode of speaking in the Chinese tradition, as in the Daoist classics Daodejing (道德經) and Zhuangzi (莊子), as well as with respective Buddhist notions, such as in the Madhyamaka school (中觀學派), the Vimalakirti-Sutra (維摩詰所説經) or the Diamond-Sutra (金剛經). Concluding, there are also references to this mode of speaking in art and poetry. In the Chinese tradition, the implicit poetic mode (“meaning beyond words”, yan wai zhi yi 言外之意) is a very peculiar way of saying the unsayable.
