源头与注脚——基于柏拉图的西方哲学

Source and Footnote —— Western Philosophy Based on Plato

柏拉图的理念论以抽象的方式设置了本体—现象两个世界的对立,提出了贯穿形而上学发展的一与多的基本线索。这一划分中隐藏着形而上学的深刻问题,成为后世诸多哲学理论的源头,由此引起的各种争论最后发展出形形色色的分支流派。纵观两千多年哲学史的各门各派,观点立场可谓百花齐放,同时也是纷争不断,门派林立。但它们所研究的核心问题,实际上并未超越柏拉图的视野:柏拉图早已意识到哲学史上几乎所有问题的可能性。既然存在问题无法回避,那么无论继承或是批判,哲学的发展历程都不得不面对柏拉图的框架。在这个意义上,甚至可以说,西方哲学就是对柏拉图的注脚。

Plato＇s theory of ideal sets the opposition of noumenon and phenomenon world in an abstract way,which is the basic clue that runs through the unity and diversity of the development of metaphysics. In this division,there is a deep problem of metaphysics,which has become the source of many philosophical theories in the later ages. Various debates over this issue among different groups have contributed to the long history of philosophical development. However,after careful analysis,we will think that their core issues of the study,in fact,did not go beyond Plato＇s vision： Plato has long been aware of the possibility of almost all the problems in the history of philosophy. Since the problem of being can not be avoided,then either inherited or criticized,philosophy has to face the framework of Plato during its development. In this sense,we can even assume that western philosophy is the footnote to Plato.
