过程性思维之内涵理解——兼论怀特海过程哲学

An Understanding of Processing Thought and Whitehead's Process Philosophy

从整体上看,同属西方后现代文化思潮的英国过程哲学家怀特海所做的工作与德里达等人的工作,既有相似之处,又有差异之处,也就是说他的过程哲学是从"破与立"之间的辩证法入手的,即他的哲学虽然讲究"破",但更着意于"立",换言之,对"实体化形而上学"(逻各斯中心主义的另一表达)的破解仅仅是手段而非目的。因为在怀特海那里,对"逻各斯中心主义"破解①的最终目的是要回归Logos的本来形态,而这正是他的过程哲学所倡导的"过程性思维"的特征所在。

As an important thought in western postmodernism, Whitehead＇s Process Philosophy is similar to Derrida＇s thoughts. Both of them have been constructed dialectically though they are different in nature. Whitehead put more emphasis on construction of the Logocentrism instead of destruction of the traditional metaphysics, which is only a kind of means, not the final end. The resurrection of the primitive of Logos is the main feature in Process Philosophy of Whitehead.
