本文试图将西田几多郎（1870-1945）作为一位新儒家来解读，重点关注他早期的道德哲学。虽然佛教对西田哲学的影响固然重大，但本文认为，实际上儒家思想发挥着更重要的作用。正因为如此，他的著作与所谓的新儒家思想可以进行富有成效的比较。对于这个重要而又相对被忽视的方面，我想探讨三个关键问题：第一，西田的道德哲学在哪些方面符合儒家话语？其次，西田重新审视了儒家思想的哪些内容？第三，西田作为新儒家可以给哲学提供什么教训？我的建议是，将西田作为新儒家来解读，可能有助于进一步发掘西田哲学、儒家哲学以及整个东亚哲学的潜力。
This paper attempts to read Nishida Kitarō (1870–1945) as a New Confucian, with a focus on his early moral philosophy. While the influence of Buddhism on Nishida’s philosophy is surely significant, this paper argues that it is actually Confucianism which plays a more important role. It is for this reason that fruitful comparisons can be made between his work and the so-called New Confucianism. I would like to explore three key questions with respects to this important yet relatively overlooked aspect: Firstly, in what way has Nishida conformed to Confucian discourse in his moral philosophy? Secondly, what elements of Confucianism has Nishida revisited? Thirdly, what lessons can Nishida offer to philosophy as a New Confucian? It is my suggestion that reading Nishida as a New Confucian may help to further open up the potential of Nishida philosophy, Confucian philosophy, as well as philosophy in East Asia in general.
