非理性因素在认识过程中的积极作用

The Positive Functions of Irrational Factors in the Process of Cognition

马克思主义哲学承认理性在认识过程中的主导地位,但并不因此归结为理性主义;同样,马克思主义哲学充分肯定非理性因素在认识过程中的作用,也不因此而归结为非理性主义。事实上,在人们的实际认识活动中,理性因素与非理性因素是相互渗透、彼此交织的。无论是在感性认识阶段还是在理性认识阶段,都是既有理性因素的作用,也有非理性因素的作用。因此,人的认识过程总是理性因素与非理性因素协调地发挥作用的过程。

The fact that Marxist philosophy acknowledges the leading role of rationality in the process of cognition does not mean that it can be generalized as rationalism;similarly, the fact that Marxist philosophy confirms the functions of irrational factors in the process of cognition does not mean that it can be generalized as irrationalism. In fact, in people＇s ac- tivities concerning cognition, the rational and irrational factors are penetrating into each other and integrating with each other,and they are both at work either at the perceptual stage of cognition or at the rational stage of cognition. Therefore, the process of human cognition is a process of cooperation and coordination of both rational and irrational factors.
