[摘 要]每一个时代都有与这个时代相适应的经典和经典诠释学。作为中国经典诠释学勃发的战国时期,当然也带有其鲜明的时代特征和独特的价值及意义。当时一些著名的学者讨论问题,大都以诠释经典为立足点,以社会政治学说为中心,包括礼乐、政刑、道德、名辩、治国、用人等诸多方面,各有侧重,但其着重点都在于为当时的社会寻找一统天下、长治久安的治国良策。于是,在经典诠释过程中,又产生了一批诠释经典的经典著作。

Although all these issues focused on different aspects, the focal point was to seek a better way to unify China and govern the country in a long-term stability. Thus, in the process of interpretating the classics, a number of classical interpretations came to the fore.

“经典以一种超常的方式揭示出世界真理,所谓超常方式是指它既奠基于特定时代,又超越它的时代而为后世所接受”[1]。经典虽然产生于一定的历史时期,同时它又不断地处在历史理解之中。因此,一般意义上讲,经典之所以称之为经典,就在于它不但属于某一特定的时间和空间,而且能克服历史距离,对不同时代甚至不同地点的人说话。“经典的价值不是现在已经过去而且消失了的时代价值,也不是一个完美得超脱历史而永恒的时代之价值”[2](p.5)。也就是说,经典代表了传统的智慧,它随时作为当前有意义的事物而存在,是现在与过去联系的最佳途径;它不是被动地接受我们的阅读,而是主动地影响我们,所以,诠释经典乃是与经典对话。正是在这种与经典的对话或诠释中,文化作为传统对一代又一代人发生影响,并进而形成一种具有强大生命力的文明。……
