现代西方哲学“反形而上学”简评

A Brief Appraisal of Contemporary Western Philosophy against Metaphysics

形而上学作为一门研究超验实体或本质的学问,曾经是西方哲学的主流。然而19世纪中期以后,现代西方哲学普遍出现了对形而上学的反叛。如何认识和评价这一"反叛",涉及到哲学的性质、哲学的对象以及哲学与科学的关系等一系列重大问题。对现代西方哲学的反形而上学倾向做出客观的事实求是的评价,对树立正确的哲学观将提供有益启示。

Metaphysics, a subject that studies the transcendental substance or essence, was once the main trend of the western philosophy. But the contemporary western philosophy has risen in opposition against it generally since the mid-term of the 19th century. How to appraise ＂the opposition＂ involves a series of important problems, such as the nature of philosophy, the object of philosophy and the relation of philosophy and science etc. This paper tries to make an appraisal of ＂the opposition＂ practically and realistically, so as to provide available revelation for establishing the right philosophy outlook.
