“因果”与“逻辑”——读维特根斯坦《逻辑哲学论》关于“因果律”的命题有感

Some Comments on Wittgenstein' s Proposition of Law of Causation in Tractatus Logica-Philosophicus

因果问题是哲学的基本问题之一,《逻辑哲学论》中的"因果律"命题廓清了原因与结果之关系的实质。与逻辑推理相比,因果律根基于两个经验事实在时间上的承接关系,即逻辑推理追问理由,因果原则探求原因,这就是因果关系的哲学本质。

The issue of causality is one of the basic issues in the history of philosophy.The proposition of ＂law of causation＂ in Tractatus Logica-Philosophicus can explain the complex philosophical issue.Comparing to logical inference,the law of causation is rooted in the diachronic connection between two empiristic facts.The human search after a ＂reason＂ in local inference and find a ＂cause＂ in causation inference,it is just the metaphysic foundation of causation itself.
