《物理学》A3中的概念辩证法

The Conceptual Dialectics in Aristotle’s Physics A3

《物理学》A3是对巴门尼德存在概念的批判,亚里士多德通过这一批判为物理学研究生成与运动奠定了存在论的基础,但由此亚里士多德在A3中也就触及有关存在与不存在的概念辩证法。本文在指出A3中这一概念辩证法的思想史意义的基础上,首先就柏拉图《智者篇》通种论论证中所建立起来的概念辩证法进行了讨论,表明差异概念的引入正是存在概念内在含有不存在概念的关键。而接下来通过对《物理学》A3文本论证的分析和重构,本文详细说明了亚里士多德对存在概念与不存在概念的相对性的论证,从而证明它们彼此是内在统一的。

Physics A3 is a critique of Parmenides concept of Being.Aristotle uses this critique to lay ontological foundation for the physical research of becoming and movement.Thus Aristotle in A3 also touches upon the conceptual dialectics of being and non-being.This paper firstly points out the significance of this conceptual dialectics in history of thought,and then discusses the conceptual dialectics established in Plato s argument of the great genera in Sophists,indicating that the concept of non-being contained in the concept of being is due to the introduction of the concept of difference.Based on this,through analysis and reconstruction of arguments in Physics A3 s text,this paper elaborates on Aristotle s argument about the relativity between the concept of being and the concept of non-being,thus proving that they are inherently unified.
