摘要

「中學為體、西學為用」為近代中國整合西方文化的主要表述之一，但卻未能根本解決近代中國文化問題。深究其由，乃此供為表述概念之「體」、「用」猶有其特殊的哲學意涵與歷史傳統，尚不能完全切合此近代中西方文化整合之用，有其內在理路與外在現實的隔閡以致。本篇文章旨在重新檢視凡此哲學意涵與理路在近代中西方文化整合問題上的對應，其中包括：「道」、「器」思想聯繫「體」、「用」概念後在整體中國文化上的對應性，以及「道體器用」與「器體道用」兩大哲學理路在近代文化的結構與基礎問題上的對應關係、「體用不二」原則等，並進一步歸納以上這些理路在現代文化不同層面中所呈現的意義，最後以應追求傳統與科技均衡發展、而不碰撞的文化永續經營使命歸結。

The reason is the expressive concept of ”Substance” and ”Function” still have its special philosophy meaning and the historic tradition. So that still couldn't suit in the problem of Chinese modern culture for solving, the inside concept and outside fact have lost contact, and the thinking road doesn't pass the problem. This article primary intention is inspecting above thinking road and meaning how to correspond with the problem of Chinese modem culture again. Including the correspondence after ”Dao” ”Technology” thought to connect ”Substance” ”Function” concept on solving the cultural problem, and the corresponding relationship between the two great Chinese philosophic thoughts: ”Dao is substance, Technology is function”, ”Technology is substance, Dao is function” and the structure of a culture, base of a culture, as well as the principle of ”One function always follow one substance”, and the further induct the meaning of above thinking road which presents in different levels of modern culture. At the Last, the conclusion is, pursues the tradition and technology should be compatible and gathers, but do not collide for the culture continues forever always is our mission.
