知觉内容、规范及其本体论解释

Perceptual Content,Norm and Their Ontological Explanation

从一种广义的自然主义框架出发，关于内容的基本哲学问题是：在一个本无内容的自然界中内容是如何可能的？具言之，内容源于何处，其地位之特殊性何在，内容与非内容的自然存在之间有何关系？本文通过对柏济新著《客观性之起源》中的相关观点，及其与当代不同种类的诠释主义立场之间的潜在争论的述评，试图对上述问题给出某种合理解答。这一解答涉及一种受自然进化约束的、与可诠释性条件相伴随的规范性。这是一种与自然主义相容的非还原主义立场。

In a broad naturalist framework,the fundamental question about content is this:how is content possible in the natural world which originally had no content whatsoever? More concretely,where did or does content originate? What is special about its status? What kind of relationship is there between content and non-content natural beings? This paper tries to delineate a roadmap for some plausible answer to these questions,via certain expository as well as critical analyses of some potential debate between Burge’s position in his new book Origins of Objectivity and several different kinds of interpretationalism.Such an answer involves a certain special notion of normativity which is constrained by natural evolution and associated with conditions of interpretability.It is a kind of non-reductivism that is compatible with naturalism.
