“天”在中国古代哲学中具有上帝、自然、命运、本体 (理、气、心 )诸多涵义。近代哲学以西方自然科学知识为基础对它进行了新的诠释 ,赋予了不同的时代精神 ,反映了不同的思维方式 ,完成了“天”范畴由古代哲学向近代哲学的演变。在此转型过程中 ,凸现了中国近代哲学发展的融合性、批判性、实践性和终结性四个重要特点。 “Heaven” in ancient Chinese philosophy has many meanings of God, nature, destiny, and noumenon (reason, mind and heart). Modern philosophy, based on the knowledge of western natural science, has given it a new interpretation, given different spirit of the times, reflecting different ways of thinking and completed the evolution of the category of “heaven” from ancient philosophy to modern philosophy. In this process of transformation, it embodies the four important characteristics of the integration, criticism, practicality and finality of the development of Chinese modern philosophy.
