2012年9月20日-23日,嵩山论坛2012:天地之中(嵩山)——华夏文明与世界文明论坛

论坛介绍:21世纪,人类文明面临新的挑战。越来越多的国家终于认识到:一国的综合国力,既包括经济、科技、军事实力等表现出来的“硬实力”,也包括以价值观念、社会制度、发展模式、生活方式、意识形态等所体现的不同背景的“文化凝聚力”。这是一种无形的力量,深深植入在不同国家和民族的灵魂之中。

世界上有一种倾向,即凭籍“硬实力”去对抗。这也往往使国与国之间、民族与民族之间的矛盾更加激化,世界更加动荡。世界和平与文明需要通过文化交流、和谐对话,增进了解,加强理解去化解矛盾。不同国家、不同民族,通过展示各自的“文化吸引力” 实现各自的发展目标,赢得普遍的尊敬,才能最终实现人类共同进步和发展。这即是儒家所谓的 “潜移默化”。

世界如此,中国更是如此!改革开放三十年来中国经济得到了史无前例的发展。然而,华夏民族的核心价值,如“仁、义、礼、智、信”、“清静无为”、人际关系“和而不同”、“求同存异”、“礼尚往来”、和谐的社会实践,乃至“天下一家”,“殊途同归”,“民吾同胞,物吾与也”的人生观和宇宙观的思想都没有成为国际社会的共识。我国的文化建设与经济发展不相匹配,中国需要了解世界,也希望世界了解中国。

在文化学术领域,我国迫切需要建立一个总结历史、关注当下、放眼未来的人文平台。中华民族是一个关注学习和对话 的民族,五千年来崇尚和平。 正值世界矛盾冲突不断的时期,我们倡议建立一个华夏文明与世界文明核心价值的对话平台,通过对话解决争端和冲突,为全球社会走向“对话文明”创造条件。

为实现这一愿景,河南省人民政府领导下的学术机构与北京大学高等人文研究院共同发起创建“天地之中——华夏文明与世界文明嵩山论坛”。河南省登封市嵩山是联合国有关机构认定的以“天地之中”命名的世界文化遗产和世界地质遗产,是华夏文明的发源地。在“天地之中”举办的嵩山论坛,旨在推动华夏文明向全球多元文明开放、交流、对话、反思、学习、创新。嵩山论坛以国际性与本土性相结合,充分体现地方特色,创建国际文化学术交流的高端平台。论坛立足中原华夏文明传承创新核心区,面向世界,增进各国各民族文化上的相互了解和理解,从而达到相互尊重与学习、共同进步和繁荣的目的。

本届嵩山论坛由北京大学高等人文研究院、河南华夏历史文明传承创新基金会、郑州嵩山文明研究院联合主办,河南登封市人民政府承办,于2012年9月20日至23日在中国河南登封举行。2010年第34届世界文化遗产委员会会议批准,河南登封之嵩山以“天地之中”历史建筑群成功地列入世界遗产名录。成功申遗的建筑包括嵩阳书院、中岳庙、太室阙、少室阙、启母阙、会善寺、嵩岳寺塔、少林寺常住院、塔林、初祖庵等8处11项,构成了一部华夏中原两千多年的文化遗产,是中华文明的真实载体和生动体现。本届论坛以“从轴心文明到对话文明”为主题,在这个以“天地之中”命名的世界文化遗产圣地,邀集国内外对世界诸文明深有研究的知名学者,交流对话,共促二十一世纪的中国文化面世界开放,实现大发展大繁荣。

New Confucianism in a Global Age: A Conversation with Professor Tu Weiming
Professor Tu Weiming of Harvard University and Peking University is a world-renowned scholar of Confucianism and its relevance to contemporary society. He has been instrumental in developing a dialogue among civilizations, particularly between the post-Enlightenment culture of the Western world and the modern transformations of Confucian humanism in the countries of East Asia.

Interview with Prof. Tu Weiming in Korea Herald韩国先驱报就儒学与韩国金融危机问题采访杜维明教授

Korea’s English language newspaper, Korea Herald, published on 2011-02-28 an interview with Prof. Tu Weiming titled “Confucianism helped Korea in financial crisis” (you can read the interview here). In the interview, Prof. Tu Weiming argues that Korea was able to overcome the recent global financial crisis due in part to Confucian influence on Korean society, where people generally work hard without expecting immediate reward.据韩国先驱报2011年2月28日报道,该报就“儒学有助於韩国摆脱金融危机“一题采访了著名的新儒学教授杜维明先生。在采访中,杜维明教授指出,韩国能够克服最近这场全球金融危机的部分原因是儒家思想对韩国社会的影响,也就是说韩国人民普遍吃苦耐劳而又不期望即时回报。
