由于科学主义盛行 ,现在世界上存在着广泛的贬低哲学存在价值的反“形而上学”潮流。在我国表现更甚 ,将“形而上学”看做是与“辩证法”对立的认识路线而采取断然否定的态度 ,其结果阻碍了我国社会文化从传统到现代的有序、平稳过渡和转型 ,造成文化的建设和发展远远落后于经济的建设和发展的不良局面。实际上 ,“形而上学”对事物本质的形上探索 ,正是哲学的重要任务和份内工作。人类离不开信仰 ,而要科学地信仰就离不开“形而上学”。目前 ,对“形而上学”的彰显至少具有两方面的意义 :一是填补传统文化形上关怀缺失的真空进而为文化重建奠基 ;二是弥补传统文化思维方式的缺陷 ,孕育和养成现代科学的思维方式。江泽民同志“繁荣哲学社会科学”的讲话 ,可以说具有重要的战略意义 ,而纠正以往对“形而上学”的偏颇认识 ,才能使我们对哲学有更深和更全面的理解 ,进而发挥哲学在文化建设过程中重要的不可替代的作用。 Due to the prevalence of scientism, there is a wide range of counter-metaphysical trends in the world that devalue the existence of philosophy. In our country, even worse, taking “metaphysics” as the line of understanding opposed to “dialectics” and taking a categorical and negative attitude, the result has hindered the orderly and smooth transition and transformation of our social culture from tradition to modern times, resulting in a culture The construction and development lag far behind the bad situation of economic construction and development. In fact, metaphysics’ metaphysical exploration of the essence of things is precisely the important task of philosophy and its job. Humanity is inseparable from the belief, and scientific belief can not be separated from “metaphysics.” At present, the demonstration of “metaphysics” has at least two meanings: one is to fill the vacancy of caring for the traditional culture and then lay the foundation for the reconstruction of culture; the other is to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional way of thinking in culture and to nurture and develop the thinking of modern science the way. It can be said that Comrade Jiang Zemin’s speech on “Prospering Philosophy and Social Science” is of strategic importance. To correct the biased understanding of “metaphysics” in the past can enable us to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of philosophy and then give full play to the role of philosophy in the process of cultural development In the important irreplaceable role.
