Abstract: Different answers to the question "what is philosophy" reflect different or even conflicting philosophical conceptions. Since the modern time the Chinese cultural conservatism has adhered to the philosophical concept of metathysics of morality and held that philosophy is meaningful only at the subjective level. Thus they criticized the non philosophy aspects of Marxist philosophy at the objective level and the revolutionary level.

Key words: cultural conservatism, conception of philosophy, Marxist philosophy, the modern school of new Confucius, metathysics of morality

摘要： 对“哲学是什么”的不同回答,反映了哲学观的差异甚至对立。中国近代以来文化保守主义坚持从道德形上学的哲学观出发,认为哲学在主观层面上才有意义。由此指责了马克思主义哲学在客观、革命等意义上的非哲学性。
