中国传统文化的根本结构是儒道互补。但儒道两家都是内圣之学 ,强调实践理性而忽视认知理性 ,因而发展不出现代意义上的民主与科学。墨家则突显出一种认知理性精神 ,显示出走向民主与科学的可能。墨学的“天志”观念所展现的宗教情怀可以为民主与科学提供超越的价值之源 ,墨学的“兼爱”、“尚贤”观念所体现的人格独立、平等意识蕴涵着民主政治的基因 ,墨学的认识论和逻辑学可能作为科学发展的前提。在儒道互补的文化格局中融入墨学 ,使实践理性和认知理性和谐相处、共同发展 ,应是重建中国文化所遵循的原则
The fundamental structure of Chinese traditional culture is Confucianism and Taoism. However, both Confucianism and Taoism are internal science, emphasizing practical rationality and ignoring cognitive rationality, therefore, they can not develop democracy and science in the modern sense. Mohism underscores a spirit of cognitive rationality and shows the possibility of moving toward democracy and science. The religious sentiment manifested in the Mohist concept of “Heavenly Teng” can provide the source of value beyond democracy and science. The independence of personality as embodied in Mohism and Shangxian in Mohism and the equal consciousness implies democracy , The epistemology and logic of Mohism may serve as the prerequisite for the development of science. Integrating Mohist with Mohism in the complementary cultural pattern of Confucianism and Daoism so that the practical rationality and cognitive rationality can coexist and develop together should be the principle to be followed in rebuilding Chinese culture
