摘要
关于概括的过程,通常是作为思维问题的一个方面而被探讨的;在探讨思维时谈到概括,又多是同概念的形成相联系的。因此这种概括,实际上只是一种概念性概括。然而除了概念性概括之外,还存在概括的另一种形式,即形象性概括。对形象性概括的研究还很不充分,但它的重要性却不可忽视。本文拟就形象概括的特点、它与概念概括的相互作用、以及形象概括的认识功能问题作一简略的讨论。
The present article first discussescharacteristics of imagery generalization,i.e.,1)the product of imagery gener-alization is images,not concepts,2)therelationship between imagery generaliza-tion and language is different from that between conceptual generalization andlanguage,the former is not always re-lated to language,3)imagery generaliza-tion has more inertia in its developmentand change than conceptual generalization,4)the contents of imagery generalizationare more concrete and richer than thoseof conceptual generatization.And thenit deals with the interrelationship be-tween imagery generalization and conceptual generalization,and attempts to showthat thanks to the close ties between im-agery generalization and conceptnal gene-ralization it is possible for imagery gen-eralization to reach the cognitive leveof reflecting the nature of things.
