卡尔纳普拒斥形而上学的批判性思考

Critical Thinking on Carnap’s Rejection of Metaphysics

卡尔纳普从意义标准和逻辑规则出发,否弃了形而上学存在的意义和价值,认为全部形而上学的问题都是无意义的。卡尔纳普对形而上学的批判虽然有失偏颇,但其通过语言哲学的逻辑分析清除形而上学的思路又为后来科学与哲学的有机融合开辟了道路。形而上学作为哲学的一门学科并不能被归结为无意义,即使逻辑规则下的形而上学命题无法证明形而上学知识体系的意义,也不意味着形而上学就是无意义,这也为改造形而上学提供了新的思路。

In accordance with meaning standards and logical rules,Carnap rejects the significance and value of metaphysics,and holds that all metaphysical problems are meaningless.Although Carnap’s criticism of metaphysics is biased,his idea of clearing metaphysics through the logical analysis on language philosophy opens the way for the organic integration of science and philosophy.Metaphysics,as a discipline of philosophy,cannot be reduced to meaningless.Even if the metaphysical propositions under the rules of logic cannot prove the meaning of the metaphysical knowledge system,it does not mean that metaphysics is meaningless,which provides us with new ideas for transforming metaphysics.
