巴门尼德“存在”范畴刍议

Discussions on “Existence” Category Put forward by Parmenides

巴门尼德是古希腊"存在"学说的开创者,诸多学者关于他的"存在"范畴的本质意蕴到底是属于唯物主义还是唯心主义,存在着不同的观点与看法。其实,这里的关键在于,我们应认识到巴门尼德的"存在"范畴虽有一定局限性,但在人类认识史和本体追求的过程中却发挥着至关重要的作用,这样才能拨开笼罩在巴门尼德存在论哲学上的一片浓雾,使人们窥得其真面目。

Parmenides was the pioneer of＂Existence＂theory in ancient Greek. As to＂Existence＂category put forward by Parmenides, many scholars hold different ideas on whether the concept belongs to materialism or idealism. Actually, it is a key that we should understand that the concept shows limits, but it plays a critical role in human＇s history of knowledge and the process of pursuing noumenon. Only in this way, can we get rid of misunderstandings on Parmenides＇ philosophy on＂Existence＂and gain the truth.
