Essays by Liu Wendian from the East and the West

About This Novel

"Eastern and Western·Liu Wendian's Essays" is one of the essay book series of great scholars. Nowadays, if many "communicators" can communicate ancient Chinese thought and scholarship with ancient Western thought and scholarship, study for similarities, and find mutual evidence, this would be an excellent thing. How can we dare to object? We can only welcome it. Unfortunately, most of them have miscalculated the true value of Chinese academics. They always regard ancient Chinese academic thought as opposed to modern Western academic thought, and insist on trying to bring together two unrelated things. They have forgotten the value of their own academics and failed to see clearly the value of other countries' academics. Therefore, they have spent a lot of effort, and the result is still a meaningless effort, or even a lot of laughable comedies. Modern Western scholarship is not only different from ancient Chinese scholarship, it is also different from ancient Western scholarship. To discuss the methods and nature of modern Western science in detail would become a specialized subject called "Philosophy of Science" (Philosophieder wissenschaft), and it would be difficult to explain it clearly in a big book written by a non-specialist. To put it crudely speaking, we must first group the experienced objects under a "class concept" according to their categories. This first step is called classification (Einteilung). Then we analyze all the characteristics of each category and state the object and object of the proposition with the class concept as the main part. This second step is called description (Beschreibung). Only after the second step is completed can we have the rudiment of science. This science of description (Beschreibung) The value of chroeibungwissenschaft is not very high. Only by further seeking out the principles and adding reasonable explanations can it be regarded as the science of this explanation (Erk-larendewissenschaft). Furthermore, it must be able to "make use of people" before its value can be considered noble. This is true for both natural science and spiritual science (Geisteswissenschaft). Although the definition of the term "study" in modern times is different among different schools and schools, at least it must be "systematic and organized knowledge" to be worthy of it. From this rigorous meaning, the position and value of Chinese academics in today's scientific world can be vaguely understood.
