“定义”歧异与“认知”溯源——关于“文学思潮”概念界说的几个问题

Definition Ambiguity and its Cognitive Explanations ——On Problems of the Definitions of “Literature Thoughts"

有关“文学思潮”的概念界说,至今仍处于人言言殊的尴尬境地,由此所引起的文学思潮研究的“泛化”弊病难以根除。总体看来,迄今为止有关文学思潮的概念界说大致可以归纳为“创作本位论”、“多元存在论”和“抽象外在论”三种。三类概念界说在范畴和逻辑架构上的不同,其实质是与研究主体“认知”模式的差异密切相关。深入分析它们之间的“差异”根源以及由此带来的“定义”歧异问题,是扭转文学思潮研究“泛化”局面的重要途径。

The definitions of “Literature Thoughts' vary from person to person so that they bring the studies in this area seeming too general and vague to be understood. Generally speaking, these definitions could be classified into three: creation ontology; poly-theories; and abstract exterior-factor theory, which are different in category and logic but closely related to people's cognitive mode. A thorough analysis of these definitions and their reasons might be the best solution to the present confusion.
