世界、知识与真

World Knowledge and True

金岳霖在他独特的理论体系中划分了必然世界、本然世界、自然界和事实界,区别了先天知识、先验知识、规律知识和后验知识,厘清了必然、固然、当然和适然。由于不同的世界存在不同的预设,必然世界遵守先天原则,本然世界遵守先验原则,自然界遵守自然律。金岳霖一生主要写了三部著作:《逻辑》、《论道》和《知识论》。其中《逻辑》是关于先天知识的理论体系,是研究必然的“真”;《论道》是关于先验知识的理论体系,主要是研究固然的“真”;而《知识论》是关于规律知识和后验知识的理论体系,主要研究了规律知识和后验知识何以可能的问题,是研究当然和适然的“真”。可以说,金岳霖的学术生涯主要就是在探讨先天知识、先验知识、规律知识和后验知识的存在基础,即探讨这些知识为什么“真”。金岳霖的学术历程就是求“真”的历程。

In his unique theoretical system Mr. Jin marked off the apodeictic world, natural world and nature, differentiated congenital knowledge ,transcendental knowledge , disciplinary knowledge and acquired knowledge, and clarified necessity , original ,certainty and accidental .The apodeictic world acts on congenital principles, the natural world transcendental principles, and nature the order of nature。During his lifetime Mr. Jin had principally written 3 masterpieces: Logic and Tao Theory and Epistemology. Logic is a theoretical system about congenital knowledge and about necessity .Tao Theory a theoretical system about transcendental knowledge and about the theory of original, and Epistemology a theoretical system about disciplinary and acquired knowledge and about the problem of why disciplinary knowledge and acquired knowledge is possible. We can say that in his academic career Mr. Jin had been exploring the existential foundation of congenital knowledge, transcendental knowledge, disciplinary knowledge and acquired knowledge. namely, the problem of why these knowledge are 'true'. His academic career is a career in pursuit of truth.
