论哲人与知识的关系--以《美诺》中的回忆说为例

The Relationship Between Knowledge and Philosophy--Taking the Recollection Theory in“Meno”as an Example

文章严格遵循文本,对《美诺》中哲人与知识的关系作出与传统理解及图宾根阐释相不同的解读,并认为:在此篇中,回忆说并非柏拉图的严肃理论而只是教育美诺的应景说辞,也不存在据说是由回忆说引申出的理念论,哲人无知是其一贯的观点。柏拉图的知识观至少在《美诺》中是统一的,不存在回忆即回忆知识与哲人无知间的矛盾。他在否认知识能为人所获致的同时,肯定了哲人通过不懈辩难而追求知识、获得近似于知识的真实意见的德性。

The article strictly follows the text and makes a different interpretation of the relationship between philosophers and knowledge in“Meno”from the traditional understanding and Tubingen interpretation.It is claimed that in this article,recollection is not Plato’s serious theory,but just the occasion speech of education.There is no idealism that is said to be derived from recollection,and philosopher ignorance is its consistent view.Plato’s view of knowledge is at least unified in“Meno”.There is no recollection,that is,the contradiction between recalling knowledge and philosopher ignorance.While denying that knowledge can be obtained by people,he affirmed the virtue of philosophers pursuing knowledge and obtaining real opinions similar to knowledge through unremitting debate.
