语言元范畴化与公孙龙语言哲学

Meta-categorization of Language and Gongsun Long's Philosophy of Language

人用语言对世界的把握和言说有赖于语言的认知范畴化功能;而哲学的形而上学思辨则基于语言意义本身的元范畴化。哲学是普遍的。西方形而上学关于be ing的逻辑思辨,完全可能甚至必然在任何语言土壤中诞生。先秦时代名家代表人物公孙龙基于汉语元范畴化认知而对"名"的意义本质进行了语言哲学反思,他不仅具有柏拉图式的"相"论思想,而且提出具有古汉语特色的形式逻辑基本定理的表述。

Categorization is the basis on which human beings know and talk about the world through language and metaphysical speculation of philosophy relies on the meta-categorization of language and its meaning.Philosophical thinking,in the sense of western metaphysical speculation on the issue of ＂being＂,is universal,which is possible,and even necessary,to occur in any languages.Gongsun Long,a representative of pre-QinSchool of Names in ancient China（over 2,500 years ago）,was engaged in philosophical speculation on the essence of the meaning of ＂names＂ on the basis of his meta-categorization of the Chinese language,which enabled him to put forward a philosophical thought close to that of Plato＇s Idea and to formulate the fundamental theorems of formal logic in a way characteristic of the classical Chinese language.
