印象与观念之间隐含着因果联系的时间结构吗?——对《休谟的经验论真的摆脱了矛盾吗?》一文的质疑

Is There Any Time Structure of Cause and Effect between Impression and Concept——Oppugning to the Paper Does Hume's Empiricism Really Break Away from Contradictions?

休谟利用印象与观念的区分和联系将经验论原则贯彻到底,并通过该原则对因果关系提出了质疑。赵敦华先生在《休谟的经验论真的摆脱矛盾了吗》一文中指出,休谟所质疑的因果联系的时间结构正是他在印象与观念的区分中所预设的时间结构,从而存在着“内在矛盾”。印象与观念之间具有因果联系的时间结构吗?本文根据休谟的印象、观念以及因果联系理论,表明作者在揭示印象与观念之间的时间关系时忽视了休谟区分印象和观念的基本原则,从而误解了两种时间结构的根本差别,因此,并不构成对休谟经验论的真正反驳。

In the Paper Does Hume＇s Empiricism ReaLly Break Away from Contradictions？ Zhao Dunhua points out that time structure of cause and effect oppugned by Hume himself has ＂inner contradictions＂. Based on Hume＇s impression, concept and the theory of cause and effect, this paper shows that Mr. Zhao ignores the Hume＇s basic principle in telling impression from concept, thus misunderstanding the basic discrimination of the two structures, to say nothing of the inner contradiction in Hume＇s empiricism.
