摘要
对儒家学说进行功夫诠释可从四个方面理解。首先,它意味着把儒家学说当作修齐治平的功法指导,而不是描述世界的理论系统。其次,它意味着这些指导的最终目的在于达到艺术人生的能力,而不是对人生作出道德规范。第三,它意味着儒家经典中的许多言语需要从语用的角度去解读,而不是只看字面的意思。最后,它意味着儒家经典的某些内容必须要通过修身实践才能充分理解。
The paper explains what it means to interpret Confucianism from a gongfu perspective: 1,it means to take Confucianism as gongfu instructions about how to cultivate people,regulate families,govern states,and bring peace to the world,rather than a descriptive theory about the world.2,it means that the ultimate aim of Confucianism is to master the art of living,instead of providing moral norms.3,it means that the utterances in Confucian classics should be understood according to pragmatics(rather than their literal meanings).4,it means that some contents of Confucian classics can be fully understood only by personal cultivation practice.
