论麦克道尔对经验概念的康德式改造

McDowell’s Kantian Reconstruction of the Concept of Experience

在思想与世界之关系的讨论中,当代哲学陷入了"所与神话"与融贯论的两难境地。为了走出这种困境,麦克道尔以康德哲学为理论资源,提出概念化的经验概念,使经验成为思想与世界联系的中介。对这种经验概念的理解需要第二自然的观念作为背景。麦克道尔对经验概念的改造是对康德哲学的创造性发展,展示了经验主义的一种新的可能性。

In the discussions about the relationship between thought and the world, contemporary philosophy falls into thedilemma between 'myth of the given' and coherentism. To solve this dilemma, McDowell develops a concept of conceptualizedexperience with resort to Kantian philosophy, thus experience has become the intermediary of thought and the world. To understandthis concept of experience, we have to something about the 'second nature'. McDowell’s reconstruction of the concept of experienceis a creative development of Kantian philosophy, and exhibits a new possibility of empiricism.
