笛卡尔的影像概念

Descartes’ Image Concept

不论在当代的认知科学哲学中还是在认识论研究中,影像和意象一直是两个相近又不同的概念,以笛卡尔的第一哲学为轴心,可以得知二者在认识论研究中存在的症结,即影像和意象的概念存在意义模糊、混淆使用的问题。但事实上,不论是笛卡尔还是后来者,他们的心灵哲学都没有单一地限定影像的内涵,而都暗含着对影像概念的精致划分,且只有联系相对应的实体观点才能真正厘清其内涵。按照这一进路,我们可以发现认知过程中影像存在的不同层级和不同方式,现代认知科学的研究结果更是证明了这点。

In the contemporary study of the cognitive science philosophy and epistemology,images and imagery have always been two closely related concepts.By analyzing the crux of the two in the study of epistemology,which is the problem of ambiguity meaning and confusion application,but in fact,neither Descartes nor later,their philosophy of mind does not singularly limit the connotation of images,but implies the delicate division of the concept of images,and should connect their entity perspective whenever in order to truly clarify its connotation.According to this approach,we can find out the different levels and different ways of image in the cognitive process,and the results of modern cognitive science had proved it already.
