亚里士多德与西方哲学“时间观”的奠基

On Aristotle and the Foundation of "Time View" in Western Philosophy

"时间"一直以来都是一个重要的哲学范畴,早在古希腊时期,哲学家芝诺在"飞矢不动"悖论中有所提及,自此,人们逐渐意识到,日常经验对"时间"的认知与抽象的"时间"概念并不一致。在西方哲学史上,各个学派对于"时间"都有过成体系的论述,并形成了有各自特色的"时间观"。亚里士多德在此方面建树卓著,他认为时间是连续的、无限的、即时性的存在,亦是沟通物质和意识世界的,思维对存在反映的结果。

＂Timen had always been a significant category which gained much attention in the history of Western philosophy. Since Zeno,the great philosopher in ancient Greece,brought up the arrow paradox,people gradually realized that definitions of time discords between daily experience and abstract concepts. In the history of Western philosophy,despite numerous schools of thoughts having their own opinions on it,time itself still could not be easily defined. Among those controversies,Aristotle＇s theory outstands, which considers time as a subsistence of continuity,infinity and immediacy. Also,as the result of thoughts＇ reflection to subsistence, time is the intermediary which communicates the worlds of material and spirit.
