人与自然界动物的根本区别在于人能够主动思考,具有理性思维。可人一旦思考,就不免受环境和地域状况的制约和影响。中华大地上孕育的民族生息繁衍的自然环境和社会环境相异于其他民族,因此在此种环境中诞生的中国哲学也就必然相异于不同背景下诞生的西方哲学和美洲土著哲学。 The fundamental difference between animals and animals in nature is that people can take the initiative to think, with rational thinking. Once people think about it, they are not immune to the constraints and influences of the environment and geographical conditions. Therefore, the Chinese philosophy born in such an environment inevitably differs from Western philosophy and Native American philosophy born under different backgrounds. The natural and social environment inhabited by Chinese people on the earth is different from other ethnic groups.
