过程哲学复活现代唯实论

Philosophy of process is the restoration of the modern realism

普遍的实在和终极实在的问题在哲学史占有显赫的位置。早在柏拉图和亚里士多德的时代它就是哲学的中心和重点。到了中世纪末期,西方兴起了旷日持久的唯名论和唯实论的争论,是古老话题的新篇章。唯名论主张个体才是真实的,唯实论坚持类具有实在性。最后以唯名论的暂时胜利而告终。这一结局给近代科学的发展以极大的推动力。但是,20世纪的科学前沿成果却对以往的信念是一种挑战。新型需要哲学的概括。怀特海的过程哲学正是在本体论的高度,以全新的视角,论证了类或整体性事物同样具有实在性。并且明确给出了类的实在性的实现方式即凸显。从而带来了现代版唯实论的复活。

The universal rcality and ultimate reality stand on the outstanding position in the history of philosophy. They were the focus and key point of philosophy in the epoch of Plato and Aristotle. In the last period of the Middle Age, there rose a prolonged dispute of nominalism and realism, which was the new chapter of the old topic. Nominalism maintained that only the individual had reality while Realism insisted that the thing of class and kind was real. At last the dispute ended with the victory of Nominalism, This gave much dynamic to the development of science afterwards. But the update achievement of the 20th century science has challenged the past belief. The new situation needs a new generalization of philosophy. The philosophy of process Created by Whitehead has proven the thing of class and kind has reality according to the requirement of ontology and with a totally new viewpoint. Otherwise he supplies the way of realization of the reality of class and kind, which is the character of superject. The philosophy of process has restored the realism of contemporary version.
