认识的主体性与认识本质——兼评“认识:反映、选择与建构的统一”

Cognition Subjectivity and Cognition Essence——Comments on Cognition: Unity of Refl ection, Selection and Construction

关于认识的本质问题,一直是认识论史上长期争论不休的问题,焦点就在于反映能不能充分体现出主体在认识过程中的能动作用,反映范畴是不是认识的本质特征。其实,马克思主义经典作家在创立自己哲学的初期,就精辟地阐明了反映论重视主体能动性的根本特征。近期,欧阳康对马克思主义认识的本质进行了讨论,把认识的本质界定为反映、选择与建构的统一。此观点突出了认识过程中主体性的作用,具体、多层次揭示认识过程的主体性,突出主体认识结构在认识过程中的作用,深化了对认识本质的认识。

Cognition essence has been an issue for debating in the history of epistemology for decades. What's their focus is that whether refl ection can fully embody subject's role in the course of cognition, and refl ection category is the essential characteristics of cognition or not. In fact, when Marxism classical writers built philosophy in the very beginning, they had incisively expounded the fundamental characteristics of refl ection laying stress on subjectivity initiatives. Recently, Marxism expert Ouyang Kang puts forward the essence of Marxism epistemology from a new perspective. He defi nes cognition essence as the unity of refl ection, selection and construction. His thoughts highlights the role of subjectivity in the process of cognition, specifi cally and variously reveals the subjectivity of cognition process, sticks out the cognition construction influence on cognitive process, and deepens understanding for cognition essence.
