如所周知,在胡适等人的推动下,美国实用主义哲学与中国传统哲学的比较一度成为现代中国学界热议的话题。但随着历史的推移,这一话题却开始很少被人问津而日渐淡出了学人的视域。下面,笔者将重拾这一业已尘封多年的历史性的话题。然而,对它的讨论将不再像当年胡适那样围绕着实用主义与中国古代先秦诸子以来的学说之间来展开,而是从实用主义与中国古老的《周易》思想的关系来切入。 As we all know, under the impetus of Hu Shi and others, the comparison between American pragmatism and Chinese traditional philosophy has become a hot topic in modern Chinese academia. However, with the passage of history, this topic has begun to seldom be read and gradually fade out of the scholar’s field of vision. Below, I will regain the dusty years of historic topics. However, its discussion will no longer be the same as that of Hu Shih from that between the pragmatism and the ancient Chinese pre-Qin philosophers, but from the relationship between pragmatism and the ancient Chinese thought of the Book of Changes.
