A Comparative Study Between Chinese And Western Thought Of Moral Practice From The Perspective Of Hermeneutics

To study the Chinese and western practice is to study the Chinese and western two different cultures from the root,and to study the Chinese and western cultural traditions from the perspective of hermeneutics and by using the method of hermeneutics is to explore the root and inner meaning of the two different cultures.Such a research that traces back to the cultural origin is helpful for the re-understanding of the local culture and the re-clarification of the foreign culture,which is of great value in the related fields of cross-cultural research.To this end,after a survey of the evolvement of Chinese and western practice thoughts,we choose the typical text of gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics "hermeneutics as the dual task of theory and practice" and the important epistle text of dai zhen’s truth-seeking "tao" "with shizhong Ming" as the specific text of analogy.Gadamer criticizes variation since modern times,the concept of "practice",the starting point of the context of its philosophical hermeneutics of practical philosophy,since modern times,is intended to change the practice and theory of phase separation,the opposite situation,lead to "theory" and "practice" the opposite of the reason is that the rise of science and technology methodology since modern times,this continuous dominate the concept of science and technology of human spirit,able to transform the objective world of human behaviour has been greatly promoted,then divided the itself with the concept of "practice" coordinated "theory" of the concept.Gadamer in the philosophical hermeneutics text "hermeneutics as the dual task of theory and practice" repeatedly stressed the connection between the two concepts in the form of text dialogue,in fact,the intention is to return to the ancient Greek era"theory" and "practice" unity of the road.In the view of ancient Greek philosophers,the knowledge of the unification of theory and practice is actually the study of "good".In the view of the current division of knowledge,the study of "good" refers to the humanities which actually exist in parallel with science and technology and other quantitative and practical disciplines.Dai zhen’s epistle "the book on the study of shi zhong-ming" can be regarded as an academic declaration of aspiration,but the academic declaration between the lines reflects the academic atmosphere of that era,which is good at seeking truth,strict with textual research,strict with the study of words,and the philosophy of learning.Letters first sentence points out the ultimate goal of the Confucian text interpretation is "tao",the "tao" refers to the realm of transcendence,is a kind of metaphysical orientation of Chinese traditional context,not only investigate taken the generation before the song similar to western ontological deciphering form of thought,and reveals the Chinese for a long time based on the process of text interpretation,dai zhen in this letter that dictates interpretation of Confucianism classics to achieve the ultimate goal is "tao",points out that if you want to reality of the "tao" must go through rigorous research solution can be reached by job:letter text,though short,but the letter will consistently throughout the whole process of dai zhen asked learningncareer In later generations,it has become a guide to the interpretation of Confucianism with a general hermeneutic meaning.The pursuit of authenticity in Chinese and western cultures has a certain degree of commonality from the pre-paradigm of cultural foundation.This necessity lies in the text of the modernity tranformation when receiving the tao and the two sides of Chinese and western are being perfected,China research methods the text of the realistic approach to confluence of Chinese and western culture modernity provides a rich corpus and well versed in the consistency of guarantee,the ontology of western philosophy in ancient Greece a practical approach for the confluence of Chinese and western cultural modernity provides a thought can be thought as well as ancient and modern synchronic were in the onological interpretation.The practical approach to hermeneutics can be found in the cultural analogies between China and the west,which show that Chinese theory of "tao" and the western philosophy of ontology have many differences and similarities,which can be sorted out from the perspective of methodology,epistemology and historical evolution.
