Abstract:Currently, there coexist in Chinese humanism academia two seemingly conflicting cultural demands and phenomena: one is to promote Chinese culture globally, to enhance the international influence of Chinese cultural products, and to strengthen China’s cultural soft power; the other is to construct an autonomous conceptual system, discourse system, and knowledge system with Chinese characteristics. In the research on traditional Chinese culture, some scholars advocate replacing the existing model of “interpreting Chinese thoughts from a Western perspective” [以西释中] with a new approach of “interpreting Chinese thoughts from a traditional Chinese perspective” [以中释中]. Specifically, in the field of traditional Chinese philosophy, they propose focusing on the particularity of Chinese language and the distinctiveness of Chinese experiences and wisdom embodied in classical Chinese texts, and establishing the so-called “Hanyu Philosophy” [汉语哲学]. This paper focuses on the following key issues: how to reconcile these two seemingly conflicting demands; what exactly “interpreting Chinese thoughts from a traditional Chinese perspective” and “Hanyu Philosophy” entail; why they are necessary; whether they are feasible; and how to practically implement them. It argues for the thesis that Chinese Philosophy stands firm through the mutual interpretation between East and West.
