真理:一种基于日常语义的哲学分析

Truth: A Philosophical Analysis Based on Everyday Semantics

作为哲学和日常语言中双栖的词汇,"真理"的日常语义是我们厘清真理概念的重要理据。基于对真理的日常语义分析,真理在语义和概念上均不止于真,而是具有内在的意义(义理)蕴涵。在西方哲学的真理言说中,海德格尔独特真理观的要义之一正在于此。在英美和欧陆哲学两种真理观的背景下,人文真理源于存在的意义明证性,在严格性方面并不逊色于科学真理由决于事实而来的确定性。

＂Truth＂is a term residing in both philosophy and everyday language. Analyzing its everyday semantics is fundamental for clarifying the concept of ＂truth＂and can reveal that ＂truth＂goes beyond being true in semantic and conceptual terms,but has intrinsic meanings. It is this idea that makes Heidegger unique in Western philosophers＇ discussions about ＂truth＂. In the wider context of two different views of truth advocated by British-American and European philosophers,the humanistic conception of truth emphasizes the validation of existence of meanings. This approach is,strictly speaking,by no means inferior to the view that posits that scientific truth must be ascertained by nothing but facts.
