实践哲学是西方哲学中一个内涵十分复杂的重要领域和学术思潮,但是长期以来,这一领域和思潮被淹没在政治哲学和伦理学研究中,并没有引起人们足够的重视。从另一方面看,上世纪70年代末以来,国内哲学界兴起了持续近30年的内容广泛的实践问题和实践哲学研究,甚至成为这一时期的所谓“热点”问题。但是这一研究由于缺乏西方哲学基础,显得空泛且后劲不足。本期发表的几篇关于西方实践哲学的文章试图在这方面做一些基础性工作,希望读者不仅从西方哲学史研究的角度来阅读,而且能够认识到这些探讨对于构建一种新的实践哲学的基础性意义。 Practice philosophy is an important field and academic trend of connotation in western philosophy. However, it has long been submerged in the study of political philosophy and ethics and has not attracted enough attention. On the other hand, since the late 1970s, the domestic philosophical circles have risen to a broad range of practical and practical philosophical studies that lasted nearly 30 years and have even become the so-called “hot spots” in this period. However, due to the lack of a basis for western philosophy, this study appears vague and has insufficient staying power. Several papers published in this issue on western practical philosophy try to do some basic work in this area. We hope readers will not only read from the perspective of the history of western philosophy, but also realize that these discussions are of great value to the construction of a new philosophy of practice The basic meaning.
