“世界”是如何可能的?——论康德通过世界问题为科学奠基的策略

The Possibility of the World——Kant's Strategy of Laying a Foundation for Science by the Problem of the World

“世界”问题是哲学追问的核心问题,因为人类的一切思想活动和实践活动都立足于其在世界中的存在。康德改变了提问方式,追问世界是如何对我们显现的,追问对于我们而言“世界是如何可能的”。康德认为感性世界的可能性在于先天纯直观形式与物自体刺激相结合,知性世界的可能性在于范畴对于感性知识的加工。前者是数学作为一门科学的合法性所在,而后者是自然科学作为科学的合法性所在。

The problem of the world is the focus of philosophy because all of human＇s activity is established in the Being-in-the-world. Kant changes the questioning fashion of the problem of the world. He research the manners of the world appear to us and ask “how the world is possible”. In his philosophy, the sensibility world is the unity of pure intuition and the thing itself and it is the mathematics＇ legitimacy. The understanding world is the result of categories acting on the sensibility knowledge and it is the legitimacy of natural science.
