实用(践)理性是著名思想家、哲学家、美学家李泽厚先生阐述孔子与传统文化的关系时提出的一个新名词。李泽厚先生认为“实践理性”或“实用理性”是“构成儒学甚至中国整个文化心理的一个重要的民族特征”。但笔者认为“理性”一词来自西方,其内涵和外延有着较明显的规定,并不适合用来概括以儒家文化为代表的中国传统文化,因而在“理性”前加上“实用”两字就显得有些牵强。 Pragmatism is a new term proposed by Li Zehou, a famous thinker, philosopher and esthetician who expounds the relationship between Confucius and traditional culture. Mr. Li Zehou believes that “practical reason” or “practical reason” is “an important national feature that constitutes the entire cultural psychology of Confucianism and even China.” However, the author believes that the word “rational” comes from the West and its connotation and extension have obvious provisions. It is not suitable for summarizing Chinese traditional culture represented by Confucian culture. Therefore, the word The word “practical” seems far-fetched.
