论维特根斯坦的“哲学语法”概念

<正>近些年来,国内外哲学界在维特根斯坦思想研究中,逐渐关注到维特根斯坦的"哲学语法",特别是试图从当代哲学的视角解读他的语法概念的思想内容。(Forster;陈嘉映;韩林合,第11章)我在阅读过程中发现,维特根斯坦对"语法"概念的使用完全不像我们想象的那样严格,而如何理解其"哲学语法"概念,实际上意味着如何理解维特根斯坦哲学。     

生活哲学:一种哲学观

哲学观问题日益引起学者们的关注。本文从分析生活概念入手,尝试性地提出一种哲学观——生活哲学观,此种哲学观认为,哲学是人生活的一种形式,其功能在于保持人的生成意识。     

杜威的文化哲学观

杜威的哲学是对传统哲学的改造和重建.他力克传统哲学过分专业化和狭隘化的弊端,通过对传统哲学的"解蔽",揭露传统哲学在理性的面目下为传统信念和习惯精神辩护的本质.在此基础上,杜威提出,哲学的本质应当是人文的而非科学的,哲学应当把自己扩展到文化范畴;哲学本质上是一个文化的沟通机构,其沟通的途径是文化价值批评;哲学的最终目的是好的价值与生活的统一,是真善美的统一.杜威实际上构建了一种文化哲学的基本范式.     

维特根斯坦与行动的Trying理论

Trying理论主张行动者的努力尝试是所有行动的要件,且它就是行动本身。在当代行动哲学中,洪恩斯比与戴维森之间围绕Trying理论的争论,体现为对维特根斯坦"剩余项"问题的不同解答。然而洪恩斯比与戴维森的理解都不能令人满意。维特根斯坦所关心的是,不能由于意志论的直觉而陷入以因果机制类比意志作用的幻象;行动本质上区别于被动遭受的事件,但这不是两类因果作用的分野,而是两种语言游戏的差异。     

维特根斯坦和传统

维特根斯坦在奥地利-维也纳传统中长大,并坚定地植根于这一传统之中。任何理解他的人格的尝试都必须设法把他置于这一背景中加以考察。但维特根斯坦作为哲学家的工作,几乎完全是在他并不分享其文化传统、并且对他本人是非常不相宜的环境中完成的。     

公羊学的历史哲学观

公羊学中蕴含着丰富的历史哲学观,它在儒家经典《公羊传》中已见端倪。在汉代,通过董仲舒的阐发和何休的总结、发挥,公羊学的以“三世”说和“三统”说为主要内容的变易、发展的历史哲学观形成了。清代中期以来的公羊学者,为汉代公羊学者所阐发的变易史观增添了更为广泛的哲学基础,使较为粗疏的变易史观更加深入、细致。公羊学的变易发展史观有很强的现实关照性和政治目的性,这就决定了公羊学的变易、发展史观比较粗疏,不精密。戊戌维新变法失败以后,随着公羊学的政治生命上走到了尽头,其变易发展史观便朝着纯粹的学术方向发展。     

罗素与维特根斯坦:两种不同的哲学观

一、罗素的哲学观在各门知识学科当中,哲学占有独一无二的特殊地位。哲学应该从事什么样的活动?关于这一点历来众说纷纭。乍一看来,这似乎并没有什么深刻的意义,只不过是常见的关于分界的争论。然而这个问题却带有根本的性质,涉及哲学的本质。哲学所考虑的不仅是问题的答案,而且包括问题本身和     

四论维特根斯坦的文化观——维特根斯坦的文化观中的内在矛盾及其产生的原因

维特根斯坦的文化观中存在深刻的内在矛盾;这个矛盾表现在它对以统一性、本质主义和逻各斯中心主义为核心内容的西方文化的既反对又坚持。而这一矛盾产生的原因在于:第一,维特根斯坦的情感和理性的对立导致他的理论和实际的脱节;第二,维特根斯坦所赋予的哲学功能与他所认定的哲学本性的背离使文化处于变与不变的两难境地;第三,维特根斯坦对共相、本质的实在论的和非实在论的双重理解,导致他对本质主义的既反对又坚持。维特根斯坦的文化观的内在矛盾实际上是他的显意识和潜意识的矛盾。     

论柯尔施对马克思的哲学观的误读

柯尔施对马克思的哲学观的重大误读是关于哲学的现实性和非现实性的。凡是柯尔施看到哲学的现实性、批判性并通过把马克思主义哲学化来恢复其革命性的地方,恰恰是马克思看到哲学的非现实性、非革命性、非批判性并进而拒绝将自己的学说限定在哲学之中的地方。柯尔施把马克思主义哲学化的直接动因是为了重新确立马克思主义的革命性,但他的做法恰恰使马克思主义丧失了革命性。     

What is to be done in the history of philosophy

Because the History of Philosophy is a branch of both History and Philosophy, it faces tasks which are Historical, tasks which are Philosophical, and tasks which overlap both. As Philosophy typically flourishes by incorporating and assimilating ideas and bodies of text which have either not previously been part of its stock in trade or have been forgotten, the main task facing the History of Philosophy today is that of developing serious scholarship in areas that have been largely neglected, such as Philosophy in Arabic and Persian as well as in Sanskrit and Chinese.     

Pictures in Wittgenstein's Later Philosophy

The word “picture” occurs pervasively in Wittgenstein's later philosophy. Not only does Wittgenstein often use literal pictures or the notion of mental pictures in his investigations, but he also frequently uses “picture” to speak about a way of conceiving of a matter (e.g. “A picture held us captive” at Philosophical Investigations§115). I argue that “picture” used in this conceptual sense is not a shorthand for an assumption or a set of propositions but is rather an expression of conceptual bedrock on the model of an organising myth. This reading builds primarily on work by Gordon Baker and Stanley Cavell.     

Hertz and Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Science

The German physicist Heinrich Hertz played a decisive role for Wittgenstein's use of a unique philosophical method. Wittgenstein applied this method successfully to critical problems in logic and mathematics throughout his life. Logical paradoxes and foundational problems including those of mathematics were seen as pseudo-problems requiring clarity instead of solution. In effect, Wittgenstein's controversial response to David Hilbert and Kurt Gödel was deeply influenced by Hertz and can only be fully understood when seen in this context. To comprehend the arguments against the metamathematical programme, and to appreciate how profoundly the philosophical method employed actually shaped the content of Wittgenstein's philosophy, it is necessary to make an intellectual biographical reconstruction of their philosophical framework, tracing the Hertzian elements in the early as well as in the later writings. In order to write Wittgenstein's biography, we have to take seriously the coherence of his thought throughout his life, and not let convenient philosophical ideologies be our guidance in drawing up a “Wittgensteinian philosophy”. To do so, we have to take a second look upon what he actually wrote, not only in the already published material, but in the entire Nachlass. Clearly, this is not easily done, but it is a necessary task in the historical reconstruction of Wittgenstein's life and work.     

Natural law and history in Locke's theory of distributive justice

According to the tradition of natural law justice is inherent to, and should always be observed in, all interpersonal relations: the science of natural law is nothing more or less than the expression of such principles of justice. The theoretical peculiarities that crop up regarding the lawfulness of appropriation are determined by the indirect interpersonal relations that take place within the process of appropriation: though appropriation is an action directed not towards another person or his property, but towards tangible external goods, this action may have important consequences for other people. Therefore Locke's theory of appropriation is a theory of justice.Locke's solution is made possible by the methodological improvement which allows a clear separation between the natural law and the historical and empirical conditions of its application: this improvement is a consequence of the distinction between modes and substances established in Locke's Essay.Locke's theory can be considered an extensive re-elaboration, in polemic against Filmer, of the anti-monopolistic principle characteristic of the whole of Scholastic social thought: this principle is intimately connected with the principle of man's natural liberty.Locke maintains a negative and formal conception of justice: justice prohibits interference with others' liberty of appropriation. Alongside the justice is the positive and conditional obligation of charity which prescribes the transfer of some of one's own goods to others who need them in order to survive. But for Locke there are precise limits on the obligation of charity: the application of charity suspends the application of justice only when the immediate physical survival is at stake; in all other cases justice leaves no room for charity.The Lockian negative conception of justice, which allows unlimited liberty of appropriation, is dependent on the empirical and historical condition of the incommensurability of the main resource. The widespread use of money acts as an accelerating element in the process of exhaustion of the incommensurability of land-resources but, at the same time, it renders self-preservation and appropriation almost completely independent of the natural environment. Money creates an infinite number of opportunities for the outlay of labour irrespective of the availability of land, that is, it renders labour the principal resource of the civilized world, and labour is an incommensurable and infinitely reproducible resource. The incommensurability of the labour resource thus supports the Lockian theory of negative distributive justice; but over the Lockian solution already loomed the threatening shadow of pauperism.The subject of this essay is further dealt with in my book on Locke's political and social philosophy Nel crepuscolo della probabilitá, Bibliopolis, Napoli, 1983. There I develop further the interpretation of Locke's theory of justice presented here and analyse his theoretical and historical presuppositions.     

概念不仅仅是归类

直到最近对概念大量的研究还是在归类方面,但归类仅是概念诸多功能中的一种。文章认为通过归类的学习还不能有效地理解概念,或概念的其他功能。原因是概念具有多重功能,它们交互作用影响概念的结构和加工过程;孤立地研究概念的单个功能可以使人理解某个特定功能的认知过程,但是却阻碍人们发现概念共同的多重功能的认知过程。由此认为概念应该在一系列相互影响的功能背景之下展开研究。     

Koan Zen and Wittgenstein's Only Correct Method in Philosophy

Koan Zen is a philosophical practice that bears a strong family resemblance to Wittgenstein's approach to philosophy. In this paper I hope to show that this resemblance is especially evident when we compare the Zen method of koan with Wittgenstein's suggestion, towards the end of his Tractatus, about what would constitute the only correct method in philosophy. Both koan Zen and Wittgenstein's method set limits to the reach of philosophical discourse. Each rules metaphysical speculation out of bounds. Neither, however, represents a rejection of the metaphysical. Where Wittgenstein enjoins silence in the face of the unsayable, a silence that allows the metaphysical to show itself, koan Zen calls for concrete demonstrations of that which cannot be captured in rational discourse. I attempt to illustrate this through discussion of a number of koans that serve as reminders that the philosopher (and Zen master) should say nothing except what can be said.     

近五十年来台湾地区士林哲学之研究与前瞻

根据祁尔松（Etienne Gilson）的说法,中世纪哲学,尤其是十三世纪的思想,是基督宗教哲学。本文按其在台湾发展时所袭用的名词,称之为士林哲学。士林哲学之传入中国,虽然早在利玛窦时期（1550—1610）已经开始,但真正成为学术思想之主流之一,是最近五十年来在台湾地区的发展。20世纪初士林哲学初传入台湾时,当时的思想环境,对基督宗教哲学并不十分友善,这种种情况,与中世纪的思想家,面对信仰与神学之挑战相似。当时的思想家,融合各种不同的思想派系,对柏拉图与亚理斯多德的观念,重新诠释与批判,批判与诠释是创新的基础。所以,中世纪可说是哲学的第二春,而中世纪哲学之精华,即全盛期的士林哲学。十四世纪唯名论之后,士林哲学逐步式微,于十九世纪末再兴。本文认为,士林哲学在台湾发展之过程,与其在中世纪之盛行,及十九世纪末之再兴,背景虽异但有不少相似之处,而这些相似之处,正是士林哲学之基本思想与立场。本文对台湾士林哲学之发展,从四方面探讨：（1）回到形上学之根以面对新的挑战;（2）形上学基本立场与概念之说明;（3）反思与批判;（4）未来发展之方向。本文所参考之资料,一是已发表之学术文献;其二是与学者们之正式交谈——如学术演讲、座谈会等,及非正式之谈话、访问等。
