用价值目标弥补真理标准之局限

Supplementing the Truth Criterion with the Value Objective

真理标准有适用局限，这就是只能检验解释性认识，不能检验改造性认识。因为改造性认识没有是非真伪之辩，只有好坏优劣之分。这表明解决认识问题．除了要有实残标准或真理标准，还要有价值标准式价值目标。价值目标既能判断改造性认识，又能判断改造性实践意味着：价值目标是改造世界的标准。在改造世界的价值目标面前，所有事物都不是神圣而不可更改的；所有事物都只不过是实现价值目标的手段或工具。价值目标不仅能对已实施的改造方案进行价值评判，而且能在改造对象之前，就对各种可实施的改造方案进行优选。

The truth criterion has its limited application range.It can be used only for the testing of explanatory cog- nition but not transformative cognition. This is because transformative cognition is beyond descriptions by such terms as truth or falseness and it but varies in degrees of goodness (or badness). Therefore,in resolving cognitive prob- lems, both the practice criterion (or the truth criterion) and the value criteria (or the value objectives) are called for. The value objectives can be used for the judgment of both transformative cognition and transformative practices, which suggests that it is the world-transforming criterion. Before the world-transforming value objectives, nothing is holy and unchangeable. Everything is but means or tool of realizing the value objective. The value objective can not only pass judgment on the implemented transformation plan but also help choose the best transformation plan before the transformation acturally takes place.
