再谈庄子的意义论

Further Study of Zhuang's Theory of Meaning

本文是从意义论的角度对庄子言意之论思路的清理。论文首先分析性确认庄子意义论的实质是谈意义的源始之发生 ,而不是谈事实性状态中意义与陈言的关系 ,进而确认庄子言意论的内在意向是要不断地回返意义创生的本始 ,摧毁历史状态中的意义板结 ,为语言—意义的创造确定根基。由于上述确认 ,文章廓清了中国后世极为发达的诗言意义论的地基 :源源不绝的关于诗意特殊性的探索和创说何以能从“言不尽意”论中生发而来。

This paper is a study of Master Zhuangzi's theory of meaning and language in light of meaning and culture. The paper starts from asserting that the essence of Zhuangzi's theory of meaning is about how meaning is produced, not the relationship of the statements and meaning. So it is affirmed that the essential tendency of Zhuangzi's theory is endlessly going back to the starting point of meaning production, deconstructing the meaning in the historical state. And Zhuangzi, in this way, is to establish a foundation for Yan-the production of meaning. This analysis outlines the frame of meaning theory of poetic language which has been quite flourishing in China, and it also explains why so many researches of poetic speciality and so much interpretation from 'meaning beyond words'.
