摘　　要：唐文明在《极高明与道中庸:补正沃格林对中国文明的秩序哲学分析》一书中所做的工作可以看作是对沃格林“比较文明学”工作的一项推进,通过引入教化论的视野,唐著对中国文明与希腊文明、基督教文明的差异及自身的独特性作出了全面而深刻的论断。首先,沃格林的秩序哲学的核心要点为从事比较文明学的工作提供了合适的理论架构,可概括为“多元普遍主义”,既不是西方中心论,也不是彻底的多元论。其次,唐著围绕自然(宇宙)与历史的关系这个核心问题,重新厘清了中国文明的特性及其历史意识的来源,就此而言可看作是对晚清以来的中西古今问题的一次全面回应,也是对中国文明生存秩序的一次新定向。Tang Wenming's work in Leap in Being and the Art of Balance can be seen as an advancement of Voegelin's work on“study of comparative civilization”.By introducing the perspective of indoctrination theory,Tang makes a comprehensive and profound assertion about the differences between Chinese civilization and Greek and Christian civilizations,as well as its own uniqueness.First,the core elements of Voegelin's philosophy of order provide a suitable theoretical framework for work on comparative civilization,which can be summarized as“pluralistic universalism”,neither Occidentalism nor radical pluralism.Secondly,Tang's work clarifies the identity of Chinese civilization and the sources of its historical consciousness around the central question of the relationship between nature(the universe)and history,which can be seen as a comprehensive response to the question of East and West since the late Qing Dynasty,and a new orientation of the order of existence of Chinese civilization.
