摘要
从传统本质主义的缺陷、维特根斯坦的意义即用法、语言游戏论三个方面,来揭示维特根斯坦对本质主义的态度及其所引发的哲学思考。指出维特根斯坦从日常用法的角度对本质进行新的思考,认为对本质只能进行描述而不能进行解释。他将"本质"一词的用法从人们对绝对主义的渴望和冲动中解脱了出来,不仅扬弃了传统的本质观的危险性而且使本质概念获得了新生。
Wittgenstein＇ s attitude towards essentialism and the philosophy thinking initiated by it are announced from three aspects： the defect of traditional essentialism, Wittgenstein＇s meaning as use and the language game theory. Wittgenstein carried on new thinking to essence in terms of daily usage, he thought essence can only be described but can not be explained. He released the usage of essence from people＇s aspiration and impulsion of absolutism, and he not only sublated the risk of the traditional essence view, but also revitalized the concept of essence.
