“是”与“不者”——黑格尔逻辑学的核心概念(下)

“是”and“不者”:Central Concepts of Hegelian Logic(II)

黑格尔逻辑学的核心概念Sein和Nichts一直被译为"有"或"存在"和"无"。本文指出,这样的翻译是错误的,而且给理解黑格尔的相关思想带来问题。通过对相关译文的分析,本文还指出,应该将它们译为"是"和"不者",这样可以消除原译文中存在的那些问题,同时可以更好地理解黑格尔的相关思想。应该认识到,Sein不仅是逻辑的核心概念,而且是哲学的核心概念,在Sein这个概念上,逻辑与哲学的关系得以充分体现。所以,与Sein相关的问题并不仅仅是翻译的问题,而且也是理解的问题,不仅是如何理解黑格尔的逻辑学的问题,实际上也是如何理解西方哲学的问题。

The central concepts of Hegelian science of logic,Sein and Nichts,have been so far translated as"有"or"存在"and"无".This article argues that these translations are wrong and they cause difficulties in understanding Hegel’s thoughts.By analyzing relevant texts I also argue that these terms should be translated as"是"and"不者".By doing so we are enabled to do away with the difficulties caused by previous translations and understand Hegel better.It should be noticed that Sein is not only the central concept of logic but also that of philosophy,and the relationship between logic and philosophy is fully manifested on this concept.Thus,problems concerning Sein are not only problems of translation but also of comprehension-comprehension of both Hegelian logic and the western philosophy as a whole.
