陈康论亚里士多德的分离问题

Chen Chung-Hwan on the Problem of Separation in Aristotle

陈康先生的博士论文《亚里士多德论分离问题》可谓是中西学界首部系统研究亚里士多德的分离问题的专著。他不只是系统梳理了亚里士多德有关理念与可感物的分离观以及分离的不同表达形式,而且他宣称亚里士多德在分离问题上不是柏拉图的反对者,而是柏拉图的追随者。一方面,国内学界认为陈康对分离问题的独特贡献不容忽视,但另一方面,他的观点迄今为止并没有在学界引起很多讨论。为弥补这一缺憾,本文尝试对陈康有关柏拉图与亚里士多德的分离问题的论证进行梳理,并在此基础上对他的观点进行评议与反思。

The doctoral dissertation of Chen Chung-Hwan,Das Chorismos-Problem bei Aristoteles,should be seen as the first monography,which systematically investigates the problem of separation in Aristotle'philosophy. He does not only sort out the main viewpoints of Aristotle ' s ideas on the problem of separation between and the sensible substances,different forms of separation,but also proclaims that Aristotle is not an opponent of Plato at all. Aristotle tried to propel and even to resolve the problem of separation raised by Plato. On the one hand,some scholars recognize that the special contribution of Chen to the problem of separation cannot be ignored,but on the other hand,his ideas about separation did not give rise to many discussions among domestic academic circle. In order to fill the gap,this article tries to present the main argumentations on the problem of separation in Aristotle ' s and Plato ' s philosophy according to Chen. At the meantime,his deficiency will also be pointed out.
