马克思科学视角下理解“致中和”的因果关系

Understanding the Causality of “Achieving the Mean and Harmony” from a Marxist Scientific Perspective

摘要: 本文借助马克思的科学观点的实践性与历史意识，重新诠释“致中和”这一《中庸》核心概念，旨在推动传统文化从符号复兴走向心灵觉醒。论文首先解析“致中和”内涵，指出其基于因果关系，但人类理性难以把握复杂因果网络，儒家通过分层处理与渐进实现的策略应对。接着，阐述马克思历史观的形成，其实践转向的因果观超越传统形而上学，社会阶段论基于实践的问题解决机制，具有开放性，与儒家“致中和”思想在对因果复杂性的认识、体系开放性追求及科学性基础建构上相似。论文最后总结对科学观和个人发展的启示。

Abstract: This paper employs the practicality and historical consciousness of Marx’s scientific viewpoint to reinterpret the core concept of “Zhi Zhong He” (Achieving the Mean and Harmony) from the Doctrine of the Mean, aiming to promote traditional culture’s evolution from symbolic revival to spiritual awakening. First, the paper analyzes the connotation of “Achieving the Mean and Harmony”, noting its foundation in causality while acknowledging the human mind’s difficulty in grasping complex causal networks. Confucianism addressed this through strategies of layered processing and gradual realization. Subsequently, the formation of Marx’s historical perspective is elaborated upon. His practical turn in understanding causality transcends traditional metaphysics. His theory of social stages, based on a practical problem-solving mechanism and characterized by openness, shares similarities with the Confucian concept of “Achieving Harmony” regarding the recognition of causal complexity, the pursuit of systemic openness, and the construction of a scientific foundation. Finally, the paper concludes with insights for the scientific outlook and personal development.
