“语境”的本体论意义——从语境实在论与文化实在论的耦合界面看

The Ontological Significance of “Context”

当人类的探索体现为思想陈述或理论陈述时,对于思想或理论的考察也就成为了对话语/语言-符号的考察。语言/符号必然地成为了知识、思想、理论存在的本体论性的可以实证的说明,而语言/符号系统的本体论性又依存于语境的本体论性,因而语境就成为了人类之知性与理性存在的本体论基底。语境作为客观实在性与认知相对性的辩证实体,是人类之认识活动的本体论原型。从语言与语境关系的角度看,语境决定了思想/理论之语言实在的生成、形式与意义及其结构,也就是说,语境决定了人类之探索型式的基本框架。

When human exploration represents itself as the statement of ideas or theories,the exploring of ideas or theories becomes the exploring of language or of symbol.Language/symbol necessarily becomes the verifiable ontological representation of the existence of knowledge,idea and theory.As the ontological language/symbol system is based on the ontological context,the latter has hence become the ontological basis for the existence of human consciousness and reason.As the dialectical entity of objective reality and cognitive relativity,context is the ontological prototype of human cognitive activities.Seen from the relationship between language and context,the latter determines the generating,the form,the meaning and the structure of the linguistic reality of ideas/theories,that is,context determines the basic framework of human exploring styles.
