彻底自然主义和泛心论的后现代意义

Radical Naturalism and the Postmodern Significance of Panpsychism

在物质论和二元论混合的现代性中,"人的现象"始终处于科学的恰当解释之外。物质论、二元论和观念论在解决心-身问题上都存在难以克服的困难,这个困难的本质在于它们共享了一个对物质的现代性规定。德昆西将所谓的"彻底自然主义"视为心-身问题的第四种解决方案。彻底自然主义本质上是对过程哲学的泛心论形态(即泛体验论)的新的概念化。它对现代性的物质和自然的规定进行了彻底修正,假定物质是内在地有感知能力的,并且这种感知能力一路向下存在于宇宙最终极的个体中。泛心论的后现代意义中除了具有调和现代形而上学诸理论的纵向意义,还有另外一个重要的横向意义,即它与东方思想的接近。

The ＂human phenomenon＂ is always posed out of appropriate interpretations of science, as it is being amongst the hybrid modernity of ma-terialism and dualism. Materialism, dualism and idealism, these theories all confront unsolvable difficulties in the face of mind-body problem. And the nature of this problem lies in the modernistic stipulations of matter. It is Christian de Quincey who sees the so-called ＂radical naturalism＂ as the fourth alternative for the mind-body problem. In nature, radical naturalism is a new conceptualization of panpsychist forms of process philosophy（i.e.,panexperientialism）. It has made radical revisions for modernistic stipulations of matter and nature. Radical naturalism assumes that matter is inher-ently sentient. And this capacity of matter goes all the way down to the ultimate individuals of universe. Apart from the vertical postmodern signifi-cance of panpsychism – reconciling modern metaphysical theories, it also has one important horizontal significance： it seems to approximate to east-ern thoughts.
