Chinese And Western Comparative Study On Anti - Theory Of Interpretation

Against interpretation is an important characteristic of the post-modern discourse in the West, it may be divided into three kinds of types: can not be interpreted, does not need to be interpreted, and should not to be interpreted. At the same time, "no-saying" in China are investigated in terms of hermeneutics, we can find that in Confucianism, it indicates "reluctant to say", Taoism and Metaphysics "hard to say", and in Zen "nothing to say". In general, this reflects three ways of against interpretation in the history of Chinese thoughts. In the external posture, the western against interpretation which passes through sedulous conscious is not only the development but also the subversion and rebellion of the interpretation comparing with the Chinese same concept. However, the Chinese unconscious "no-saying" which have no successive inherits in time and develop parallelly with interpretation mostly changed into "without-saying" in the literature creation later. In the internal pattern; the western against interpretation is that the language as ontology face with the destructed significance on the verge of crisis, however, the Chinese "no-saying" is that the language as instnimentalism face with the infinite significance. It also results in the corresponding change of strategy, the West is "experience" of the text, but China is sudden understanding of the essence. In addition, against interpretation of China and the West also has the theoretic unification itself and the similar value, so the discussion is possible and necessary. We have reasons to believe that against interpretation of China and the West can inevitably prove its status through effective making up and excavation. The Chinese and western against interpretation which interprets by means of against interpretation is not only beyond the traditional hermeneutics, but also belongs to it.
