语言是逻辑的本能:黑格尔语言观再思考

Language is the Instinct of Logic: Rethinking on Hegel’s View of Language

对于黑格尔的语言观研究,一般在语言与逻辑或者真理的分离的框架下进行,并认为语言模仿逻辑。本文在基于黑格尔《精神哲学》相关文本的阐释基础上,揭示出黑格尔关于语言产生中诸阶段特别是记忆阶段的理论涵义。并进而指出,黑格尔认为语言就是思维的形体,是思维本身;语言具有自我产生和发展的否定性动力,其过程是从模仿到自我规定。并且,逻辑作为思维的形式,来自于语言的本性,就是语言的展开和产物。从某方面来看,逻辑是语言的'本能';从另一方面看,语言却是逻辑的'本能'。

The study of Hegel’s view of language is generally carried out within the framework of the separation of language from logic or truth,and it is believed that language imitates logic.Based on the interpretation of Hegel’s Spiritual Philosophy,this paper reveals Hegel’s theoretical implications of various stages of language production,especially the stage of memory.It points out that Hegel believes that language is the form of thinking and the thinking itself;language has the negative motive force of self-generation and development,and it proceeds from the imitation to self-determination,and that logic as the form of thinking comes from the nature of language,which is the development and product of language.From one aspect,logic is the'instinct'of language.On the other hand,language is the'instinct'of logic.
