章太炎的齊物哲學與現代性的超克

Zhang Tai-Yang’s Philosophy of the Equality of Things and the Overcoming of Modernity

章太炎以佛教解莊，對於〈齊物論〉有詳細的註解，並發展出一套可以應世的齊物哲學。對於他來說，莊子哲學是最佳的應世之道，他以莊子哲學回應當時中國的問題，並思考中國應該如何吸收西方現代化的成果，並且進一步超克現代性。本文即集中思考其思想中齊物哲學與現代化超克的關聯。

Zhang Tai-Yang interprets Zhuangzi through the lens of Buddhism and provides his meticulous commentaries on the“Discourse of Equality of Things,”based on which he develops a set of philosophies of equal regard for all things that is applicable to the world. From Zhang’s perspective, Zhuangzi’s philosophy is the optimal approach to engaging with the mundane world. Hence, he responded to contemporary issues in China through the lens of Zhuangzi’s philosophy, contemplating how China should integrate the achievements of Western modernization so as to overcome modernity. As such, this paper underlines the theoretical affinities between Zhang’s notion of the Equality of Things and the idea of overcoming modernity.
