文化发展根源于文化创新,创新是文化繁荣的生命线;文化创新源于古今中西文化传统比较中的一种当下的文化自觉;因此,就要从形上视域看文化的比较如何可能,这样的文化比较基于对相同和差异的会通;这样的形上之思是哲学的本质特征,哲学的根本使命即在于完成对人的教化。 Cultural development is rooted in cultural innovation, innovation is the lifeline of cultural prosperity; cultural innovation stems from the current cultural consciousness in the comparison of ancient and modern Chinese and Western cultural traditions; therefore, it is necessary to see how culture can be compared from the metaphysical perspective. Cultural comparison is based on the sameness and difference; this kind of metaphysical thinking is the essential characteristic of philosophy. The fundamental mission of philosophy is to accomplish the enlightenment of people.
