庄子、海德格尔与“象思维”

《庄子》之文诗意表达是寓言、卮言、重言三位一体。这种三位一体,不同于概念思维规定性之所指的表达,而是作为寓旨性之能指的表达。因此,庄文之思本质上是以言筑象的“象以尽意”。庄文这一特征,使研究《庄子》也必须以体悟的“象思维”才能进入。即使富于名辩意味的《齐物论》,其名辩也以体道为出发点和归宿。海德格尔在反思和批判西方形而上学传统过程中,表现出向中国道家趋近的倾向。他的晚期著述的诗意表达,可以说是超越概念思维局限而呈现的一种“象思维”的西方现代版。

Zhuang Zi and Heidegger and "Image Thinking"

The book Zhuang Zi shows the trinity of fable, randomness and tautology,which is different from the signified of conceptual thinking but is the signifier with implied meanings.Therefore,the essence of the book is to express by means of images,which makes the study of the book possible with "image thinking".Even in his dialectic book of "On Leveling All Things",he starts with and finally returns to morals.During Heidegger's reflection and criticism of western metaphysics,he shows a tendency to Chinese Taoism. The poetic expression of his works in his later years is a contemporary western version of "image thinking" by transcending the limitation of conceptual thinking.
