论麦克道威尔式的“压缩实在论”思想

On the Deflationary Realism of John Mc Dowell's Thought

近年来由海德格尔和戴维森思想所引发的关于压缩实在论问题的探讨是实在论争论中的重要动向。压缩实在论力图取消科学研究对象的实在性与日常实践对象的实在性之间的差别,主张世界向我们的显现就是世界的本来面目。麦克道威尔的实在论思想坚持压缩实在论的基本内涵,在具体形式上表现为概念实在论。概念实在论以"第二自然"学说为基础,由于第二自然学说是对先验哲学和实用主义的双重改造,由此麦克道威尔的压缩实在论更根本地建基于"先验实用主义"哲学。

In recent years, debates about deflationary realism stimulated by Heidegger and Davidson play an impor- tant role in the argument of realism. It is the basic views of deflationary realism that there is no difference between the reality of scientific objects and the reality of our daily practical objects. Deflationary realism advocates that the world is its appearance to us. According to McDowell＇ s opinion, his realism is in accord with the basic views of de- flationary realism, yet its special form is conceptual realism which locates itself on the theory of Second Nature. The theory of Second Nature is a double transformation of transcendental philosophy and pragmatism which will be named transcendental pragmatism. We conclude that the deflationary realism of McDowell is based on this transcen- dental pragmatism.
