摘要
本文首先对比logos和“道”的词源,进而分别阐述古代西方和中国的语言哲学观——logos神秘主义和老子名说,最后比较了二者的同和异。作者认为,两种语言哲学观的实质都是对语言的崇拜,这也是人类文化早期的一种普遍现象。从名实关系角度看,logos 神秘主义和老子名说都基于本质论的认识,以为名称与事物同生同在,但logos神秘主义始终不出哲学-宗教的范围,而老子名说则为“正名说”的发生提供了契机。由于“正名说”的兴起,中国古代语言哲学观与社会政治紧密地维系了起来。
Starting from an analysis of 'Logos' and 'Tao''s etymology, the paper compares logos-mysticism, which has its root in ancient Greek philosophy and fully reflects itself in the Bible,with Laotzu's view of Name (名), which the author believes to be the first attempt made by aChinese philosopher to explain the role of language. Both logos-mysticism and Laotzu's view oflanguage may be seen as a cult of language, a general cultural phenomenon discovered in theearly history of nations all over the world, or as a form of naturalism, if considered from theviewpoint of name-reality relations
