经验知识的推理主义路径何以可能?

How is the Inferential Approach to Empirical Knowledge Possible?

在传统认识论视域中,获取经验知识的方式主要基于一种表征主义路径,认识活动对实在的有效表征是相关经验知识确定性的基础。长期以来,此路径为怀疑论的质疑所困扰。布兰顿在《信任的精神:对黑格尔现象学的一种解读》一书中对这种表征主义路径下的怀疑论问题及其产生的缘由进行了哲学诊断,依托语言哲学的哲学理路,借鉴黑格尔的思想资源,给出了消解怀疑论的推理主义语义学解决方案。通过探讨在双模态质形结构的概念实在论语境中重建经验知识的语义学可能性,有助于回应传统认识论所面临的怀疑论挑战,进而重新回答经验知识如何可能的问题。

In the perspective of traditional epistemology,the way to obtain empirical knowledge is mainly based on a representational approach.The effective representation of reality by cognitive activities is the basis for the certainty of relevant empirical knowledge.This approach has long been plagued by doubts of scepticism.In his book“A Spirit of Trust:A Reading of Hegel's Phenomenology”,Brandom made a philosophical diagnosis for causes that result in scepticism under this representational approach,and provided an inferential semantics solution to dispel scepticism by relying on the theory of philosophy of language as well as drawing on Hegel's ideological resources.This article attempts to explore the semantic possibility to reconstructing empirical knowledge in the context of bimodal hylomorphic conceptual realism,in order to respond to the sceptical challenges faced by traditional epistemology,and then re-answer the question of how empirical knowledge is possible.
