想象的真理--论想象与真理的关系

无论再现论还是表现论的文艺观念，都肯定文艺活动的想象性质，并试图在此基础上理解文艺活动的区别特征。而这也同时产生了论证想象活动的真理性的要求，只不过在西方形而上学思想传统和符合论真理观念的限制下，对想象理解还包含着许多内在的困难。本文试图说明这些困难，并指出由西方现当代人文主义哲学所提供的解决问题的可能方向。

Truth of Imagination

Both Mimetic theory and Expressive Theory affirm that literature is a kind of imagination, which makes literature differ from the other human activity. And this produces the problem to argue the truth of imagination at the same time. But, because of the limitation of the west metaphysics tradition and the correspondence theory of truth, there're kinds of inherent difficulties in the understanding of imagination. So the purpose of this essay is to explain these difficulties, and point out a possible solution supplied by the western contemporary humanism philosophy.
