理解与实践

Understanding and Practice

理解与实践的关系是诠释学研究中的重要课题。在诠释学发展史上,伽达默尔首次将二者关联起来,一方面他在哲学诠释学的理论框架中复兴亚里士多德的实践智慧传统,完成诠释学从"技艺学"、方法论到实践哲学的转换;另一方面他力图阐明实践哲学的诠释学面向,揭示实践行为的语言性、理解性。理解与实践分别作为诠释学和实践哲学的核心概念,二者具有怎样的内在关联,理解、诠释、言说、写作在何种意义上具有实践性,实践又具有怎样的诠释学内涵,这些问题将基于哲学诠释学、兼顾实践哲学传统和言语行为理论等视角予以阐明,并尝试从中提炼出一种更为合理的诠释理念:在理解与实践的互摄、互动中生成既有客观性、又具开放性,既有创造性、又具公共性和价值导向的意义空间。

In the development history of hermeneutics, it is Gadamer who has first linked hermeneutics to practical philosophy and ethics. On the one hand, he has revived Aristotle’s tradition of phronesis(practical wisdom) in his philosophical-hermeneutic theory and accomplished the transformation of hermeneutics from "Kunstlehre"(skillful craft), methodology to practical philosophy. On the other hand, he brings to light the hermeneutic dimension of practical philosophy by elucidating the linguistic and understanding characters of practical action. As for the following questions, what is the interrelation between "understanding" and "practice", respectively as the key concept of hermeneutics and practical philosophy, what is the practical character of understanding and what practice philosophically means, the paper tries to provide an explanation in light of the philosophical hermeneutics, as well as the tradition of practical philosophy and the theory of speech acts.
