形式的哲学精神探本

An Inquiry into the Philosophical Implications of the Idea of Form

文章认为形式与理性之间具有本源关联,这一关联肇始于柏拉图的理性的形式化。西方心灵崇尚的理想之美有两种形态:一种是源于理性的自我聚集本性的和谐美,另一种是构建超验的、纯粹形式的、真善美统一的世界。形式的撼天动地的伟大能量体现在两个方面:其一是为目的论的解释和美的概念产生联系提供深刻的存在论、认识论和价值论的根据,另一是作为理性的基本同一性的外化的赋型、抽象和表现这三种活动。理性-形式不会随着现代社会和文化的反传统浪潮而终结,它与非理性的矛盾本质上是化解自然与文化之冲突的表征。

This paper seeks to bring to light the original connection between form and reason,which stemmed from the formalization of reason in the theory of Plato.It is held that there are two kinds of ideal beauty that are highly esteemed by the Western mind:one is concerned with the harmony of beauty originating from the self-agglomerative nature of reason;the other indicates the construction of a world of transcendentally pure form that unites truth,goodness and beauty.The extremely great energies of form might be considered in the following two aspects:firstly,the idea of form offers profound ontological,epistemological and axiological grounds for analyzing mutual relations between the interpretation of teleology and the concept of beauty;secondly,the act of form-bestowal,abstraction and expression,in reality,is the externalization of the basic identity of reason.From the above arguments,it may come to a conclusion that the idea of reason-form will not end up with the anti-traditional wave of modern society and culture,because the conflicts between reason-form and irrationality essentially constitute the symptom of resolving the contradictions between nature and civilization.
