自我问题的演变及其当代意义

On the Developpmet of Self Problem and Its Contemporary Significance

现当代西方哲学的自我问题研究肇端于笛卡尔。此后经历了休谟的批判性否定、早期心理学的初步研究、行为主义心理学和语言哲学的拒斥,以及近20年的再度兴起。自我问题再度兴起乃是认知科学、认知神经科学、行为-意识科学、当代哲学等学科领域发展进步的内在要求,研究自我问题对这些学科的发展进步均具有重要意义。

Since Descartes created modern Western philosophy,the self problem has been the important thesis of modern philosophy.Descartes affirmed the self＇s reality and its siginificance in human mental life.Hume repudiated Descartes＇ doctrine and thought of the self as an illusion.The early psychology took the self as a significant concept,and set up the psychological theory about the self.After 1910,owing to the coming into being of the behaviorism psychology and the philosophy of language,the self problem was entirely discarded by the psychology and the philosophy.After 1970s,with the springing up of cognitive science and the philosophy of mind,the self problem became an important thesis in many disciplines again.At present,from the view of development,the self problem has become many dixciplines＇ sixty-four-dollar question,so to study the self problem is of great importance for many disciplines.These disciplines include the cognitive science,the cognitive nueroscience,the behavior science,the philosophy of mind,and so on.
