隐喻与意会认知的表达:波兰尼意会认知论的一种可能进路

Metaphor and the Expression of Tacit Cognition:Polanyi's Theory of Tacit Knowledge

迈克尔.波兰尼提出的意会认知论哲学思想,从西方内部突破了现代客观主义实证主义的认知范式,被认为是西方"认识论历史上的第三次哥白尼革命"。但是其认识论却止步于对逻辑理性的批判,没有对意会认知的表达途径作进一步探索。文章在对比研究意会认知与隐喻关系的基础上认为,较之于强逻辑性表达手段,隐喻是意会知识表达的一种可能途径甚至是最佳途径,但隐喻表达出来的意会知识可能与本义之间产生振荡。

The philosophical thought of theory of tacit knowledge,put forward by MiChael Polanyi,made a breakthrough in the modern objectivism's cognitive paradigm of positivism from the angle of the West,which was considered as 'the third revolution in the history of epistemology' in the West.However,his epistemology halted at the criticism on logic rationality and has not done further exploration on the expression of tacit cognition.Based on a contrastive study of the relationship between tacit cognition and metaphor,this paper thinks that,compared with the strong logical expression,metaphor is a possible approach to the expression of tacit cognition and even the best approach,but some oscillation between the tacit knowledge which was expressed by metaphor and the original meaning may be caused.
