我完全明白,在这个讨论会上我们主要关心的不是——追述过去半个世纪来的哲学发展,而是要对那个时期盛行的思想方式作出解释和批判的评价。我的基本论点是,实用主义者的思路被一种纯粹学院式的哲学的增长所打断,这种哲学关心工具和技术甚于关心伦理的、政治的、形而上学的和宗教的基本问题。我将对由分析和语言学倾向主宰的这一时期哲学提出五点主要的批评。 I fully understand that what we are mainly concerned with at this symposium is not to follow the philosophical developments of the past half century but to make an assessment and critique of the ways of thinking prevailing in that period. My basic thesis is that the pragmatist’s mentality is interrupted by the growth of a purely academic philosophy that cares about tools and techniques over basic ethical, political, metaphysical and religious issues. I will put forward five major criticisms of the philosophy of the period dominated by analysis and linguistics.
