存在与无限

Existence and Infinity

本文是一种尝试:结合汉语文字的博大深邃、简明扼要、一字千钧与英文的灵活细腻、严谨周全、长于诠释论证的特质,用汉语写成的命题连串起来,构成本文的总论断;随附每一个命题的英文解说,则构成对该命题及其中概念的诠释和论证。英文论证所需要的文献,亦引用于其中。本文毋需以摘要贯首,选读中文部分,大意便可一览无余。本文以金岳霖先生的《论道》为典范,在该书绪论中,金先生谈及他本来写作均用英文,后来才尝试着用中文写作,以满足国人学习哲学的需要。如今,国内哲学社会科学领域的学生及学者,英文水平已经很高,正是利用汉语和英文各自的优势,达到弘扬汉语文字,兼顾详尽诠释与严谨论证的大好时代。本文正是在此思路下的一种尝试。探索以汉语为主,英文为辅的哲学写作路径。

In this essay I argue that there is a fundamental gap between the way things exist as physical phenomena(which is adequately described by classical physics)and the way things exist as physical reality(which,as far as scientists know,is adequately described by quantum physics).I then show,by using one of the examples of taking the limit of infinity,how the gap can be closed.I further argue that taking the so-called"infinite idealization,"we provide an anchoring connection between the phenomenal and the real in physics.And that supplies the grounding for both ways or realms of existence.
