孔子与苏格拉底的反讽：一种“超越比较”的研究

CONFUCIAN AND SOCRATIC IRONY “BEYOND COMPARISON”

摘要：

过去几十年来，学者们主要关注的问题是如何在不依附于西方语汇和范式的情况下，如何用中国哲学自己的语言来论述中国哲学。这种关注往往被表述为对更熟悉的概念和论述的突破和重新思考。一些学者将这种双重解释态度描述为比较研究与“后比较”研究之间的相互依存关系。后比较研究并不排除比较，更是回应在比较中运作同时又超越比较的矛盾要求。在本演讲中，我将以孔子与苏格拉底的反讽作为案例进行研究。首先，我将总结现有关于孔子和苏格拉底的比较研究的要点，特别是反讽；其次，我将指出这些比较中重复出现的一些预设、根深蒂固的理解和陈词滥调；最后，我会从后比较的角度讨论孔子和苏格拉底各自的反讽：将孔子的反讽和苏格拉底的反讽作为固定的认同性进行比较，并不止于此，来探究这两种认同性的相遇如何使它们相互转化并被重新定义。

关键词：反讽、孔子、苏格拉底、比较研究、后比较研究

Abstract:

During the past few decades a major concern among scholars is how to address Chinese philosophy in its own terms without any attachment to Western vocabularies and paradigms. This concern is often expressed as a breaking away from and re-thinking more familiar concepts and discourses. Some scholars have described this twofold interpretive attitude as the interdependence between comparative and “post-comparative” approaches. A post-comparative approach is one that does not preclude comparison, but responds to the paradoxical demand of operating within comparison while moving beyond it. In this presentation I will take the ironies of Confucius and Socrates as a case study. First, I will summarize the main points of existing comparative studies on Confucius and Socrates, with a particular focus on irony; second, I will identify some of the presuppositions, entrenched understandings, and clichés reproduced in such comparisons; finally, I will discuss the respective ironies of Confucius and Socrates from a post-comparative perspective: comparing Confucian irony and Socratic irony as fixed identities, I will move beyond comparison to see how the encounter of these two identities allows them to mutually transform and be re-defined.  

Key words: irony, Confucius, Socrates, comparative, post-comparative
