西方哲學之發展已進入詮釋學轉向與典範時期。這使得東西方哲學之會通與轉化也進入新的可能性。本文企圖首先揭示西方傳統哲學之基本問題，尤其是從哲學之觀念性涵義、其系統性結構以及其基源性歷史三向度審思之，亦即其哲學觀念之詞源學及其所蘊含的基源意義問題，其哲學之系統內在性基本問題綜結，以其思想文化史起源中的形上學對於存有之抉擇所潛伏的基源問題。接著初探詮釋學哲思、特別是嶄新的體系性詮釋學三基設如何在存有學基設向度中回應乃至解消與超克西方傳統哲學之基本問題，亦即一方面從詮釋學一詞hermeneuein之詞源學所醞涵的、另一方詮釋學轉向之義理脈絡所隱涵的存有學三基設形成西方哲學典範之轉移，並且進而從此開放性地提示出就存有學基設向度而言西方當代詮釋學哲思所基源的基督宗教信仰與漢語哲學對話之潛能與基本差異。

The Development of Western philosophy hat entered into the era of the hermeneutic turn and paradigm. This evokes also new potential for the inter-relation and inter-transformation between Eastern and Western philosophy and culture. Firstly this essay endeavors to disclose the basic problems of traditional Western philosophy, and these shall be surveyed particularly under three dimensions, i.e., the conceptual meaning of philosophy, its systematical structure, and its initial history. There are in brief investigations about the etymology of the idea of philosophy and its implied original meaning-problems, about the system-immanent complex of basic philosophical problems, and about the concealed problems, which only originated in the metaphysical decision to the Being in the Western intellectual-cultural history. Secondly we shall survey primarily the hermeneutic philosophizing, especially how the three ground-presuppositions of systemic hermeneutics response and even resolve the basic problems of Western traditional philosophy or rather transfer them to hermeneutic questions or thinking. It shall reveal the hermeneutic paradigm shift of Western philosophy in the there ontological ground-presuppositions which already suggest in the etymology of hermeneuein on the one hand and which immerse themselves in the spiritual context of hermeneutic turn. Finally it could unveil the new potential and also the differential from the dialog between the Sino-philosophy and Christianity, which generated the modern Western hermeneutic philosophizing.
