哲学概念:进化与变异

Philosophical Concepts:Evolution and Variation

哲学作为一门学问,以概念作为"细胞",来进行内容的形式表达。然而,概念作为哲学的"细胞",与生物学的"细胞"一样,亦是变化的,而变化常表现为"进化"和"变异"两种情形。所谓"进化",指针对新哲学问题基于"内在线索"而对原有概念内涵的合理发展;所谓"变异",指针对新哲学问题基于"外在线索"而对原有概念内涵的曲解或"异化"。之所以会出现概念变化的"进化"与"变异"之别,原因很复杂,但对哲学功能的理解和对诠释方法的使用两个因素至关重要。如果"正解"哲学功能,使用合理的诠释方法,哲学概念的变化可能是"进化";如果"误解"哲学功能,使用不合理的诠释方法,哲学概念的变化便可能是"变异"。

Philosophy,as a kind of learning,takes the concept as the“cell”to express the content.However,as the“cells”of philosophy,the concepts are the same as the“cells”of biology would also change,and this change would manifest themselves in two situations:“evolution”and“variation”.The“evolution”means a rational development of the original concept connotation based on“inherent clues”pointing to the new philosophical questions.The“variation”means the misunderstanding or“alienation”of the original concept connotation based on“external clues”pointing to the new philosophical questions.The reasons for“evolution”and“variation”of philosophical concepts are complex,but the understanding of the function of philosophy and the interpretation methods are crucial elements.If the philosophical function is understood correctly,a reasonable interpretation method is used,the change of philosophical concept may be“evolution”;otherwise,the change of philosophical concepts can be“variation”.
