存在与时空限定——论言语何以成为存在之家

Existence and Time and Space Finiteness——On How Utterances Get to Be the Home of Existence

努斯推动万物运动,逻各斯赋予人类记录万物运动的能力,使得言语成为存在的家。因为存在离不开时间与空间的限定,身为“爱智慧者”的人类创造了语言这个记录存在的工具,在空间上对存在主体进行限定,在时间上对存在主体的运动进行限定。空间限定和时间限定分别对应人类语言基本交际单位(句子)的主语和谓语部分,从而实现了将运动的瞬间化为静止的永恒。但人类很难消除记录存在的言语与被言语记录的存在间的偏差,就像心理现实只能向客观现实无限接近却很难实现等同,因为言语过程本身便是一种抽象概括的过程(形而上)。无限缩小这个偏差是形而上学与科学研究所共同追求的一个目标,是爱智慧者追求真理的必经之路。

Nous drives the movement of all,while Logos endows humans with the ability to record the movement of all,making language the home of existence.Because existence cannot be separated from the finiteness of time and space,humans,as“wisdom lovers”,have created language as a tool to record existence,anchoring the subject of existence in space and the movement of the subject of existence in time.Spatial finiteness and temporal finiteness thus correspond respectively to the subject and predicate parts of the basic communicative unit of human language(sentences),hence achieving the transformation of a motional moment into a static eternity.However,it is difficult for humans to eliminate the deviation between the recorded existence and existence itself,just as human cognition(mental reality)can only approach objective reality infinitely but is rather difficult to achieve equivalence,because the speech process itself is an abstract and generalized process(metaphysical).Therefore,infinitely narrowing this deviation is a common goal pursued by both metaphysics and scientific research,and it is a necessary path for wisdom lovers to search for truth.
