思想即理智与理解。它之所以被称为“思想”,虽然其本义是“思考”,即思维过程,以及对事物和事务作出判断。它也指思考的结果,即一个人通过其理智或思维过程所得出的判断。我们所说的“西方思想”,包含以上所有含义。它指西方所采用的思维过程,其判断事物和事务的方式,即其方法论与标准。它也包括其理智的成果和其思维的产物,就知识、思想与概念而言,并体现为意识形态、文明与文化。

Thought is the intellect and comprehension. It is called thought though it means thinking i.e. the thinking process and passing judgment upon things and matters. It is also means the result of thinking i.e. what a man arrives at of judgment, through his intellect or thinking process. What we mean by saying ‘Western thought’ is all of the above. It means the thinking process adopted by the West, its method of judging things and matters i.e. its methodology and its criteria. It also includes the fruits of its intellect and the product of its thinking, with respect to knowledge, thoughts and concepts, manifested as ideology, civilization and culture.

所谓反驳，是指摧毁其思想体系的根基、推翻其裁断与对策，并驳斥其论据。它意在阐明其谬误与无效，揭示其腐化之处——包括其思维方式、由此产生的结论、知识、方法、基础、文明与文化。反驳西方思想，就是反驳西方思想所建立于其上的根基。没有必要逐一反驳其所有支脉或次要观念，因为各种意识形态、文明与文化都建立在其独有的支柱、主张与基础之上。由此衍生的各种对策也包括各类裁断。支脉思想建立于这些根基之上，知识亦由此确立。反驳通过摧毁根源与基础来实现，同时拆除支柱，从而使建构于其上的一切随之瓦解。因此，反驳即是确认西方关于生活的观念无效，并揭示西方处理生活一切事务的方案之腐化。

What is meant by the refutation is the demolition of its intellectual structure, invalidation of its rulings and treatments and refuting its arguments. It is the clarification of its error and invalidity, drawing attention to its corruption, within its thinking, its consequence, knowledge, method, basis, civilization and culture. Refuting the Western thought is the refutation of the foundation upon which the Western thought is established. It is not necessary to refute all of its sub-thoughts, or secondary concepts, since ideologies, civilizations and cultures are based on pillars, claims and foundations that are unique to them. The treatments emanating from them also include rulings. Sub-thoughts are built upon them, whilst knowledge is established upon them. Refutation is achieved by destroying the roots and the foundations, whilst demolishing the pillars, consequently destroying all that was built upon it. Thus, it is confirming the invalidity of Western concepts about life and drawing attention to the corruption of Western treatments for all the affairs of life.

这是对西方思想所建立基础的反驳。

This is the refutation of the foundation upon which the Western thought is built.

要着手驳斥这一思潮，首先必须阐明西方思想的本质、其教义性的观点、传播其意识形态的方法、其哲学、其对待问题的方式、根基、基础、价值与标准。在此之前，我们应当先审视其历史背景，阐明此种思想的兴起及其渊源。这将作为一个导论，帮助我们认识本研究所针对的这一思想的本质，使我们形成对其现实的清晰认识，进而有助于理解其特征与独特之处。

To initiate the refutation process, it is necessary that we clarify the essence of the Western thought, its doctrinal view, its method in spreading the ideology, its philosophy, its treatment, foundation, basis, values and criteria. Before all of that, we will reflect upon the historical context, clarifying the emergence of such a thought and its sources. This would be an introduction to help accessing the nature of the thought upon which this research is done. It allows the arriving at the crystallized awareness about its reality, which in turn would assist understanding its features and peculiarities.
