高尔吉亚和公孙龙语言哲学的同异之辨

Discussing the Similarities and Differences of Gorgias' and Gongsun Long's Philosophy of Language

高尔吉亚和公孙龙的语言哲学在强调概念和对象之间的异质性、私人语言和公共语言存在差异、认识上的相对主义方面具有高度的一致性。由于各自面对的社会现实的不同,导致了他们的语言哲学关注点的不同,并且构建其语言哲学的目的也存在差别。对两者语言哲学比较可以为中西方哲学如何在一个具体层面进行比较提供某种启示,也能提升中国哲学自信,并有助于中西哲学的相互理解。

In the philosophy of object, as well as in private and language, Gorgias and Gongsun Long differ in the attributes of concept and public languages, while they have same opinions on cognitive relativism. Due to different social realities, they hold varied focuses on philosophy of language and dissimilar goals of building the philosophy. The comparison of both theories can give some hints to comparing Chinese and western philosophies on specific level and also contribute to mutual understanding of both philosophies and the self-confidence of Chinese philosophy as well.
