简论现代西方哲学的语言学转向

A Brief Comment on the Linguistic Turn of Modern Western Philosophy

20世纪西方哲学的语言学转向被称为是现代哲学的一场"哥白尼式"革命。现代西方哲学的语言学转向主要体现于科学主义和人本主义两大哲学思潮的发展中,它们以各自不同的轨迹开始并完成了这一转向。两大思潮的哲学家从不同的角度转向语言学,以意义理论为核心,强调了语言的本体论地位。这种哲学的语言学转向虽然有不科学的方面,但它为哲学研究开拓了新的广阔的空间。

The linguistic turn of western philosophy in the 20th century is called a 'Copernicus' revolution of modern philosophy. The linguistic turn of modern western philosophy mainly exists in the development of scientism and humanism, the two philosophical thoughts which have begun and completed in their own tracks. Philosophers of the two thoughts have turned to linguistics according to their different angles. They have regarded the meaning theory as the core and emphasized the ontological role of language. Although this linguistic turn of philosophy has its unscientific aspect, it has opened up a new and vast field for philosophical researches.
