表象、表达和回忆:黑格尔《精神现象学》的语义学维度

Representation,Expression,and Recollection:Semantic Dimensions of Hegel’s Phenomenology

在对黑格尔《精神现象学》进行语义学解读时,其核心思想在于,认为概念内容有着形式和质料的双峰结构,这构成了黑格尔揭示思维和事实、显像和实在、心灵和世界间表象关系的基础。黑格尔在阐释概念内容的表象维度时,另一个重要的原创新思想体现在“回忆的合理性”这一概念。回忆是一种特殊的“做”的活动:通过对经验过程进行重构而使之变得合理化,从而呈现出有着表达上渐进性的叙事形式,从回溯的视角看,一直对该过程起到制约作用的内隐规范也将变得明晰。

In this essay I present my understanding of Hegel’s most basic semantic ideas.At the core is his bimodal hylomorphic conception of conceptual content.It is the basis for his account of representational relations between thoughts and facts,appearance and reality,mind and world.The key concept in Hegel’s account of the representational dimension of conceptual content is his other big,original semantic idea:the notion of recollective rationality.Recollecting is a distinctive kind of doing:rationalizing a course of experience by rationally reconstructing it so it takes the form of an expressively progressive narrative of the gradual unfolding into explicitness of a norm that is seen retrospectively to have implicitly governed the process all along.
