Huang Chun-Chieh and comparative philosophy : multiple ways of studying Confucian ideas and notions across texts and contexts

Ogrizek, Marko (author)

Confucianism cannot be posited as merely a philosophical tradition, but can nevertheless be said to possess key elements of a philosophy of ethics, which have time and again been able to transcend both the tradition’s historical as well cultural bounds. While Huang Chun-chieh points out that it is more appropriate to speak of Confucianisms, plural, core Confucian values and notions possess the ability to move from context to context while retaining certain characteristics and changing others. The proper approach to the study of Confucianisms should therefore be interdisciplinary and in line with the new method of East Asian Confucianisms, where philosophy should also have an important part to play. Understood within the bounds of the project of Confucian philosophy (a project that can be seen as dynamic and ongoing in the global environment of the 21st century), a broader and more diverse range of expressions of Confucian thought—particularly through the methods of both East Asian Confucianisms and of comparative philosophy as an effort of a more equal and inclusive philosophical dialogue—could help throw new light on important aspects of Confucian philosophical thought. While the methods of East Asian Confucinisms and of comparative philosophy are different in their aims and scope, they also share common sensibilities.

Abstract

Konfucijanske tradicije ne moremo razumeti kot zgolj filozofske, lahko pa rečemo, da vsebujejo ključne elemente etične filozofije, ki jim je vedno znova uspelo preseči tako svoje zgodovinske kot tudi kulturne okvire. Huang Chun-chieh poudari, da bi bilo tako bolj primerno govoriti o konfucijanstvih, torej v množini, osrednje konfucijanske vred-note pa imajo sposobnost premikanja iz konteksta v kontekst ter po eni strani ohranjajo, po drugi pa spreminjajo določene značilnosti. Ustrezen pristop k študiju konfucijanstev mora biti zato interdisciplinaren in v skladu z novo metodo vzhodnoazijskih konfuci-janstev, v takem projektu pa mora imeti pomembno mesto tudi filozofija. Če jih preu-čujemo v okviru projekta konfucijanske filozofije (projekta, ki je dinamičen in poteka v globalnem okolju 21. stoletja), lahko bolj raznoliki izrazi konfucijanske misli – še po-sebej z metodama vzhodnoazijskih konfucijanstev in primerjalne filozofije kot napora enakopravnejšega in inkluzivnejšega filozofskega dialoga – pomagajo na novo osvetli-ti pomembne vidike konfucijanske filozofske misli. Čeprav se metodi vzhodnoazijskih konfucijanstev in primerjalne filozofije razlikujeta v ciljih in obsegu, si delita določeno skupno razumevanje.
