摘要

詮釋出自於人的思想，為人意圖反映幷建構人的認知而作出帶有目的性的表述。每一部經典創作，即是代表一種詮釋的建構；而每一次對經典的閱讀，則是代表人對其既定詮釋的解構。經由詮釋的建構，提供了人據以認知的理解基礎；經由詮釋的解構，則不僅是重構了理解的基礎，也同時使人得以重新尋回人的主體性，開顯出人的自主與自由。人透過經典來表達與記錄人所建構的詮釋，人又依循人所建構的詮釋來塑造人的存在方式。因此，我們既可藉由對經典作回溯性的研究，來理解內含在文本中的既定詮釋；亦可藉由對經典作開創性的研究，來建構新的詮釋。循此以理解經典，就是理解人藉由詮釋而開顯之人的存在與人對其存在本質的自我建構。

Interpretation is a purposive statement by man in which to construct knowledge. Each philosophical book that has been created means a sort of interpretation has been constructed. Each time we read a book, an established interpretation of the book has been deconstructed by us. Through the construction of an interpretation, a basis of understanding is created. Through the deconstruction of an interpretation, there is not only an opportunity to reconstruct the basis of understanding, there is an opportunity to re-find mans subjectivity and to disclose the independence and freedom of man as well. People construct an interpretation by writing books to express and record it. They form lifestyles by following interpretations recorded in classic books. Consequently, we come to understand established interpretations contained in the texts by research into the classic books. We thereby can construct new interpretations by doing creative research into the meaning of the classics. By taking this approach to rethinking the classic philosophy of a culture, new light could be shed on what is revealed by mankinds existence and mankinds construction of the essence of that existence.
