  • 《毛主席語錄》，到處橫行，及至四方邊疆。所有的出版物，卷首都以特大字體標上《毛主席語錄》中的一節。無論是研究還是作品，全都從雜誌上消失了，只有口號氾濫。在這強烈的喧囂中，到底發生了什麼事？從外部是沒有辦法瞭解的。很多書籍都被焚燒了。有報導說，郭沫若院長像拋棄紙屑一樣地在整體上做自我批判，批判自己那出色的古代研究。這些都挑起了我們的不安。一定有什麼事情，一定發生了什麼異常。那東西大概就是不分區別地能夠燒盡一切事物的nomos性的巨大力量。在這當間，主席的盟友、被公開指名為後繼的林彪，因暗殺毛主席失敗而垮臺，並在逃亡北方途中墜機而死。內部的權利鬥爭好像是因為路線的相違。文革派與實權派的不和看來也不是很容易就能夠化解的。內外一切，nomos性的幻影籠罩著世界。大概孔子活著時的時代也是這樣的吧。哲人孔子是怎樣生活在他所在的那個社會中的？孔子是怎樣與那個力量鬥爭的？而且，孔子在現實中敗北，卻又成為百代之師，這又是為什麼呢？我想寫一部有關孔子的書。我想具體地把握孔子的姿態、孔子所在的社會和孔子的思想以及他人生中的生活方式。我是一個研究者，我想將這些原封不動地就策劃為一部精神史、一部思想史。為此，對於孔子周邊的事項，對於思想的系譜等，我都不加怠慢地予以了留意。
