真理符合论的逻辑演进、学理困境与可能出路

Correspondence Theory of Truth: Logical Evolution,Academic Predicaments and Possible Solutions

作为流传最广和影响最大的真理理论,符合论自形成之始就受到来自哲学与科学等领域的批评和责难。生物学、物理学等自然科学提供的实验证据,近代哲学的怀疑主义思潮,以及语言学转向之后的概念框架相对性论证,都对真理符合论的基本观点提出了质疑,从不同角度否定了命题与事实之间的对应关系,否决了符合论的认识论前提。尽管真理符合论存在某些学理困境,反符合论者提出的责难也有一定合理性,但我们应当保留真理符合论的基本气质,它在一种新的关于世界的理解视域中能够获得再生。

In spite of being the most widespread and most influential theory of truth,the correspondence theory has been criticized and denounced in the communities of philosophy and science since its creation. The experimental evidences offered by natural sciences like biology and physics,the skeptical movement in modern philosophy and the relativistic argument of the conceptual framework after the linguistic turn have questioned the basic views of the correspondence theory of truth,negating the correspondence between propositions and facts from different angles,namely negating the epistemological premise of the correspondence theory. In spite of the academic predicaments facing the correspondence theory and the reasonable criticism from the objectors,it is necessary to retain the basic quality of the correspondence theory of truth so that it can revive in a new vision of the world.
