摘 要： 黑格尔的著名命题“哲学史是哲学”引发了对哲学与哲学史关系的重新思考。黑格尔对这个命题及其逆命题的论述，都存在着明显的思想前提。但无论从逻辑上分析还是从历史上考察，“哲学就是哲学史”这个命题都是不成立的。通过对哲学与哲学史之间的思想关系的分析，我们可以对哲学的性质给出否定性的定义，即哲学不是科学，不是宗教，也不是思想史，因为哲学是没有对象的，是不需要权威的，也是自由的。

How to Understand the Relation of Philosophy and its History
JIANG Yi
Abstract: Hegel’s famous proposition that the history of philosophy is part of philosophy has aroused reconsideration of the relation of philosophy and its history. In fact there are some premises in this proposition and Hegelian explanation of it. However, in this essay, I will claim that the proposition could not stand up both logically and historically. In analyzing the conceptual relation of philosophy and its history I contribute a negative definition of philosophy as its nature, which is that philosophy is not a science, not religion and the history of thought. There is no specific object in philosophy, so no need to have an authority in philosophizing. Philosophy is the freedom.
Key words: the nature of philosophy; the study of the history of philosophy; Hegelian philosophy; the relation of philosophy and its history
