研究形而上学不应忽略柏拉图——与王路先生商榷

Plato—An Indispensable Person in Studying Metaphysics——Discussion with Mr.WANG Lu

综观整个形而上学史,柏拉图的思想以有所变化的形态始终起着决定性作用。传统形而上学的问题、内涵、思维方式、方法特征在柏拉图哲学中已被决定性地展示出来了,不理解柏拉图,就不可能理解形而上学。王路先生在分析形而上学时之所以忽略柏拉图,原因就在于他常常只是纯粹从语言学和逻辑学、而且是形式逻辑的观点看问题。这虽然使分析严谨细致,但却往往失其宏旨,难于把握其内容要义。

Plato's thought has been playing a changeful desicive role in the whole metaphysics history.The problems,intension,mode of thinking and method characteristic of traditional metaphysics are decisively displayed in the philosophy of Plato who becomes indispensable in understanding metaphysics.Mr.WANG Lu neglects Plato in anlaysing metaphysics because he purely considers problems from the angles of linguistics and logic,esp.formal logic which makes his analysis careful and precise but themeless.
