The basic nature of cultural philosophy

Abstract

文化哲学泛化，使得文化哲学的基本性质和研究层面仍然是一个有待于解决的问题。三个前提决定着文化哲学的系统化及其基本性质和研究主题：现代化的逻辑演进以及总体现代化观念的产生，全球化的文化逻辑以及一种超文化形态——“世界文化”理念的生成，和文化发展的逻辑、文化总体性以及文化本体经验的凸显。这些根本变化，使文化哲学成为当代各种哲学形态的潜流和底蕴——文化哲学的理论形态只是这种潜流和底蕴的集中体现和自觉形态。文化哲学有三个研究层面，即哲学文化价值研究、文化形而上学和文化批判。因此，文化哲学是一种新的哲学形态。 The generalized use of the concept of cultural philosophy means that its basic nature and research levels have yet to be addressed. The systematization, basic nature and research themes of cultural philosophy are determined by three premises: first, the logical evolution of modernization and the emergence of the conception of total modernization; second, the cultural logic of globalization, along with the advent of a meta‐cultural form, i.e. the idea of “world culture”; and third, the highlighting of the logic of cultural development, the totality of culture and cultural ontological experience. These fundamental changes have made cultural philosophy the subcurrent and underlying reality of various modern philosophies; the theoretical forms of cultural philosophy are simply their concentrated expression and form. Research in cultural philosophy has three levels: the level of cultural values, the level of metaphysics, and the level of cultural criticism. Cultural philosophy is thus a new form of philosophy.
