《逻辑哲学论》之为世界的极简设定--以卡夫卡的《诉讼》为例

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as Minimal Settings of the World:Kafka's The Trial as an Example

本文把维特根斯坦的《逻辑哲学论》解读为“可以用语言来描述的世界”的“极简设定”,由此引出“认知格局”:它既是意义的源头,也是意义的界限。这一眼界有助于我们通过正确的“显示”来解决问题。而卡夫卡的《诉讼》,描述的就是“认知格局”这个层面发生的危机:世界的意义无法充分地“显示”。

This paper considers Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as a set of‘minimal settings’of the world capable of being described in words.This means that"the pattern of cognitive construction"can be regarded both as the origin and the limitation of meaning,and in the light of this perspective,problems can thus be solved by means of proper manifestation.Kafka's The Trial represents the crisis in the level of "the pattern of cognitive construction",that is,the meaning of the world cannot manifest itself adequately.
