论康德《纯粹理性批判》中的先验客体概念

Analysis of Transcendental Object in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

先验客体概念在康德的《纯粹理性批判》一书中由于一方面其意义精微且有层次递进,另一方面又与若干概念意义相近,所以有些许模糊难懂。本文首先对先验客体的概念进行梳理,概括出其作为统一性本身、统一性的规则与客观性之保障这三重含义。在此基础上阐明它与物自体所体现的是先验与超验、认识论与存在论的区别。最后考察其与先验主体的关联,进一步指出先验客体是先验主体统一性的对象化。通过这一系列的考察厘清先验客体概念在康德哲学中的作用。

The concept of "transcendental object" in Critique of Pure Reason is obscure and hard to understand due to both its profound and layered meaning,and its similarity to other concepts.Hence,this treatise tries to analyze this concept first to summarize three layers of its meaning:the unity,the principle of the unity and the warranty of objective reality.Then the treatise explains that the differences between transcendental object and thing-in-itself is the difference between not only transcendental and transcendent,but also epistemology and ontology.Last,by investigating the relationship between transcendental object and transcendental subject,the treatise attempts to prove that transcendental object is the objectification of transcendental subject.The function of the transcendental object in Kant’s philosophy will be better understood after this investigation.
