罗蒂之镜中的康德“范畴”

Kant`s Category in the Rorty`s Mirror

要反对传统哲学,摧毁传统哲学的标杆,以康德为靶是最好不过的了。在康德的认识论中,把握其关于"先验逻辑"的理念,对于理解康德整个"纯粹理性批判"具有极其重要的意义。先验逻辑的核心是范畴理论。在康德哲学语言中,范畴等价于纯粹知性概念。康德把知识形成的活动,从根本上看做一种对知觉加以综合并形成统一性的过程,而这其中知性能够借以实施这一综合活动并达到统觉的统一性的工具,就是"范畴"。因此,对范畴的源起和客观有效性先验演绎就是康德认识论核心之核心了。罗蒂从康德范畴源泉、有效性、范围切入,显示其哲学的反表征主义、反基础主义和反本质主义的后现代主义特质。

To oppose the traditional philosophy and to destroy the symbol of the traditional philosophy, it is the best way to object Kant＇ s philosophy. It is significant to master the idea of a transcendental logic in Kant＇ s epistemology. Transcendental logic is the theory of category which is equal to pure concept of the understanding. Forming the knowledge depends on the tool, which ultimately synthesizing appearances, namely category. Deducting the orion, validity, sphere and limit of category is the kernel in Kant＇s epistemology. Rorty starts with category, revealing the postmodemist characteristics of anti- representation, anti - foundationalism anti - essentialism.
