可错论视域下的古典实用主义

On the Classical Pragmatism from the Perspective of Fallibilism

在实用主义的当代热潮下,一个颇为棘手的问题是,如何对于实用主义准则给予一种免于表面化的适当解读。至少就其古典意义而言,实用主义是在可错论的视域下展开的,可错论是实用主义者面对科学时代的教条主义和怀疑主义所选择的一条稳健的中间道路,实用主义所代表的一种独特的规范性也必须由此方能理解。

In the revival of pragmatism, a perplexing problem is how to get the point of the pragmatic maxim. This paper argues that falliblism is the kernel of pragmatism at least in the classical sense, and wherein pragmatism offers an appropriate conception of normativity against the prevalent logic of dogmatism or of scepticism.
