虚拟之物是如何存在的?——兼析人是理念的动物

How do Virtual Things Exist:an Analysis of Human Being as the Animal with Value Ideas

由于主要从认知理性的视角入手,却忽视了更深层的需要维度,西方学界一直难以回答像金山或独角兽这样的主观虚拟之物是否存在、怎样存在、有何意义的问题。关键在于,人们往往是在非认知需要的干预下,构造出了那些虽然没有对应的客观存在,但又在主观心理中真实存在的虚拟价值理念,并在它们的引导下展开自己的人生历程,以至于从某种意义上说,人首先是理念的动物。

Because of their perspective of cognitive reason without noticing the deeper dimension of needs,it has been difficult for Western scholars to resolve the questions whether and how virtual things like golden mountains or unicorns exist and what significance they have.The key reason is that,under the intervention of their non-cognitive needs,people often present those virtual value ideas which have no corresponding objective existence and yet really exist in their subjective psychology,and develop their own life course under the guidance of these ideas,so that in a sense,human being may be seen firstly as the animal with value ideas.
