중국철학사의 근현대 서술에 대한 성찰과 제언

Abstract

This article is an attempt to overcome the shortage of the field of Chinese modern philosophy in Korean academia. In the Korean academic world, the basics of Chinese modern philosophy is weak. Vulnerable modern philosophy let Chinese philosophy distant from contemporary ones. Earlier, Mizoguchi, Yūzō criticized Japan's Chinese studies, which did not care about China at the time, as "Sinology without China." There are several volumes on Chinese modern philosophy in China and Western academia. In those cases, Chinese modern and contemporary philosophy is appropriated to academism, metaphysics, and revolutionary ideology. The former is led by Neo-Confucianists group after Feng Youlan, and the traditional philosophy and the metaphysics of the Western philosophy are the basis of the description of the philosophical history. The latter is formed in socialist China, and revolutionary ideology and materialistic philosophy form the basis of philosophical history. The tendency to differentiate from these two extremes is the accomplishments of Li Zehou and Guo Zhanbo, which relate the interest of modern Chinese upheaval to the narrative of modern philosophy. Chinese modern philosophy history have to be rewrote based on the concern on the development and construction of thoughts in the context of modern age. It is an effective way to move away from a particular reputation-centered narrative description and shift attention to a new notion which represent modern social systems and values. Narrative of Chinese modern philosophy through rewriting the Modern is a work that actually transcends the present state of Chinese Philosophy in Korea which is 'Sinology without China' virtually and ultimately strengthens the present vitality and realistic position of Chinese philosophy.
