摘要
人类在一系列生态、环境问题面前所做的努力而不能如愿,无一不在说明,我们对"自然"的理解依然处在"未知"状态。从现代科学开始的那个端点(笛卡儿)起,自然如何进入人的心灵(意识)或者说认识论问题至今还没有真正解决的办法,像康德所说的"物自体"之不可知性,实用主义绕过了该问题,经验实在论也只是采用了折中办法加以应对。本文希望从人对自然的认知、涉及自然的真理概念以及欲望做一简要说明,以提示自然科学研究尤其生态学、环境科学研究者们注意到其知识、理论以及实践所面临的界限及不可能性的领域,在不能言说的地方应保持沉默(维根斯坦语)。
Since modern science started by Descartes,we haven＇t found out how nature is perceived by human mind,there are still issues and arguments around epistemology.For example,the notion of Thing In Itself raised by Kant is argued as it is unknowable.Pragmatism bypassed the argument and empirical realism compromised to interpret.The purpose of this thesis to point out the limitation of knowledge,theory and practice facing natural scientists,especially ecologists and scholars of environmental science by briefly illustrating the perception of nature,truth and concept of nature and human＇s desire,as a result,we better keep silent upon unspeakable,quote：Whereof one cannot speak,thereof one must be silent— Ludwig Wittgenstein.
