Introduction to Tsinghua Studies in Western Philosophy
清华大学哲学系 2015年
Department of Philosophy, Tsinghua University (Beijing), 2015
【缘起与背景/ Background】
清华大学是“现代中国哲学”发祥地之一，更是中国的“西方哲学研究”的发源地与学术重镇。清华的西方哲学研究曾在清华人文社会科学的缔造中起过举足轻重的作用：王国维(1877-1927)借助于对叔本华哲学的研究而在“红学”、诗词艺术理论等领域独领风骚；梁启超(1873-1929)在清华开启了中国最早介绍与研究欧洲大陆哲学，既为他自己获得世界性理论视野，也为后续中国学者通过研究西方哲学来开创“现代中国哲学”奠定了基础；随后的金岳霖(1895-1984)、冯友兰(1895-1990)、贺麟(1902-1992)、张申府(1893-1986)、张岱年(1909-2004)等作为清华大学具有代表性的学者和哲学家，都是在深入研究西方哲学的基础上对“现代中国哲学”做出了卓越贡献，形成了“清华哲学学派”，成为1920-1950年代中国人文科学领域里声名遐迩的“清华学派”的重要一部分，对其他人文社会科学产生了深远影响。他们及其他们的继者如沈有鼎(1909-1989)、王玖兴(1916-2013)、何兆武(1921-)等清华学人的研究成果既代表了中国现代哲学的高度，也代表了20世纪中国西方哲学研究的深度。这些构成“清华哲学学派”核心成员的学者们，在哲学教学与科研实践中，创造性地运用西方哲学的方法、概念系统、话语方式和中国传统的哲学资源，力求“会通中西、贯通古今”，造就了富有原创精神的学术传统。 “清华哲学学派”，特别是清华西方哲学研究的深厚传统在清华大学早年的人文社会科学的草创、发展乃至取得辉煌成就的过程中，曾发挥过极其重要的基础性作用，我们希望清华今天的西方哲学学科建设能够同样引领新的学术和思想范式的建构，推动清华的人文社会科学再创辉煌。一份高质量的西方哲学研究方面的专门学术刊物，既能帮助接续清华西方哲学研究的学术传统，成为积累学术成就和交流学术成果的有效平台，也是强化西方哲学学科建设而努力再创清华西方哲学研究新高度的有效途径。有鉴于此，在清华大学双聘教授、中国社会科学院学部委员叶秀山先生和清华大学副校长谢维和教授的建议与支持下，清华大学哲学系决定在2015年创办半年刊辑刊：《清华西方哲学研究（Tsinghua Studies in Western Philosophy）》。
Tsinghua University (Beijing) is not only one of the most important cradles of “modern Chinese philosophy,” but also the birthplace and the academic center of Western philosophy study in China. During the first half of the 20th century, Western philosophy research in Tsinghua played a pivotal role in constructing humanities and social sciences of Tsinghua University and even of whole China. For example, the master of Chinese traditional learning, WANG Guowei (1877-1927), obtained outstanding academic achievements in the field of Redology (the studies of CAO Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber) and the Chinese ancient poetics or aesthetics based on his studies of Schopenhauer's philosophy; the great thinker, LIANG Qichao (1873-1929), was the first scholar who introduced European continental philosophy to China and advanced the research of it in Tsinghua, which not only established his status as a uniquely pioneering and global-minded thinker in political and social philosophy, but also partly helped lay foundation for modern Chinese philosophy. Through the wide-ranging and deep-delving studies of Western philosophy, the following philosophers and scholars in Tsinghua: JIN Yuelin (1895-1984), FENG Youlan (1895-1990), HE Lin (1902-1992), ZHANG Shenfu (1893-1986), ZHANG Dainian (1909-2004) and so on, formed “the Tsinghua School of Philosophy”, which has made great contribution to modern Chinese philosophy. This School, as one of the most crucial parts of “the Tsinghua School”, which led the famous academic trend in the field of humanities from the 1920s to the 1950s in modern China, has exercised great influence on other disciplines. These founders of this School and their successors, such as SHEN Youding (1909-1989), WANG Jiuxing (1916-2013), HE Zhaowu (1921-), to some extent, are not only those whose philosophizing represents one of the most significant trends in modern Chinese philosophy, but also those whose philosophical academic work represents the most fruitful endeavor of Western philosophy research in China. The academic and philosophical approaches of this School encourage scholars to creatively combine the methods/conceptual systems/discourse modes of Western philosophy with the resource/problems of Chinese ancient thoughts in order to establish a new tradition of historical-systematical study of Chinese philosophy, to actualize the potential of Chinese ancient philosophy, and to construct an original philosophy——modern Chinese philosophy. The ultimate aim of the Tsinghua School is “会通中西、贯通古今 (to integrate or amalgamate Chinese and Western thoughts through systematic interinterpretations or constructive synthesizations, and to interpret or grasp thoughts from the ancient to the present through thorough understandings or systematic reconstructions) ”. Since the Tsinghua School of Philosophy has played a fundamental role in the past development of humanities and social sciences of Tsinghua, the current and future researches on Western philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at Tsinghua University (DPTU) are expected also to follow its early tradition established by these predecessors, and to prompt the formation of a new academic paradigm. In view of the fact that the publication of a high-standard journal of Western philosophy could be in service of meeting this expectation, DPTU launches a biannual journal Tsinghua Studies in Western Philosophy (TSWP) in 2015.
【宗旨与目标/ Aims】
《清华西方哲学研究》积极推动中国的西方哲学研究的专业化与国际化，推进中国学者与国际同行之间持久深入而富有成效的对话, 同时也秉承“清华哲学学派”的传统，倡导中西思想互证互参以会通中西思想而开创世界普遍之学。作为中国第一份西方哲学研究领域的专门刊物，我们努力成为代表中国的西方哲学研究最高水平的一流刊物和基于中西哲学会通基础上的原创哲学的标杆性阵地。
The central purposes of Tsinghua Studies in Western Philosophy (TSWP) are:
1.to facilitate the specialization and internationalization of Western philosophy research in China,2、to promote long-term and fruitful dialogues between Chinese scholars and their international colleagues,
2.to carry out the early tradition of the Tsinghua School of Philosophy,
3.to advocate a structural, systematical and integrative interinterpretation between Chinese and Western philosophy, and a historical, thorough and consistent understanding of the philosophy from the ancient to the present,
4.and to encourage the construction of a more universal philosophy on the basis of mutual inspiration and interinterpretations between the two traditions.
As a journal mainly specializing in Western philosophy, TSWP wishes to be a first-class journal, which presents high-quality researches of Western philosophy and remarkable dialogues between China and the Western.
【形式与内容/ Forms & Contents】
刊物以辑刊的形式每年出版两辑（每年6月底出版夏季号、12月底出版冬季号），每辑30-40万字，接受海内外学者在西方哲学各个学科领域内的历史性或系统性研究的或以中西哲学会通为主题的高质量专题学术论文（10000-15000字，编辑许可的个别情况无篇幅限制）、学术评论、学术综述和专业书评（均不超过10000字）。论文以中文论文为主，也兼收海外华人学者和外籍学者的英文论文。刊物将在学术规范，论文格式，评审流程（同行评审）和编辑出版等方面严格遵循国际一流期刊的学术规范和通行体例。
TSWP is a biannual journal with a summer issue and a winter issue that comes out every June and December. It publishes high-quality academic articles, notes and discussions, current scholarship reviews and book reviews, and calls for Chinese or English papers from scholars both inside and outside China. Lengths of submissions are advised to be between 10, 000 and 15, 000 words for academic articles and not to exceed 10, 000 for other ones (no set maximum in some exceptional circumstances permitted by editors). The topics are expected to be about either historical and/or systematical studies in almost all main branches of Western philosophy (ranging from ancient to contemporary philosophy), or comparative studies of or dialogues between Chinese and Western philosophy. TSWP will strictly follow the international standards of academic norms, format style, paper review (peer review), edition, and publication.
