把《论语》放在他者哲学的语境里分析, 可以展示出一个不同于主体性哲学的解释学视角, 挖掘出孔子儒学中另一重可能的意义域: 即孔子儒学中存在着他者哲学的向度。狭义地说, 《论语》中的他者有三类范型, 即师友、父母和圣人, 他们分别属于差异性的他者、无限性的他者和理想性的他者。从他者哲学的视域看, “我”与他者的关系是《论语》思想的基本模式。

A new hermeneutic horizon, which differs from the philosophy of subjectivity, can be displayed through an analysis of the Analects of Confucius in the context of the philosophy of the Other.The dimension of the philosophy of the Other exists in Confucius' philosophy.In a narrow sense, the Other has its own alterity.There are three patterns of the Other in the Analects, namely, friends and teachers that are recognized as the differential Other, parents that are recognized as the infinite Other, and sages that are recognized as the ideal Other.In the perspective of the philosophy of Other the relationship between"I" and "Other"is a basic mode of thought in the Analects of Confucius.
