在维特根斯坦晚期之后,营造了关注语言使用的大环境,隐喻作为语言的独特用法自然进入分析哲学家们的视野。戴维森是一位在隐喻研究方面较有影响的分析哲学家,他反对多数语言哲学家对隐喻的看法,认为隐喻所表达的只是其字面意义。本文试从后期维特根斯坦意义观入手,通过分析戴维森的隐喻理论对后期维特根斯坦意义用法论的继承,对戴维森的隐喻理论作简要评述。 After the late Wittgenstein, the environment of focusing on the use of language was created. Metaphors, as the unique usage of language, naturally entered the field of vision of analytic philosophers. Davidson, an analytic philosopher who is more influential in metaphorical research, rejects the view of most philosophers about metaphor that metaphorical expression is only literal meaning. This article tries to start from the later Wittgenstein’s concept of meaning, and analyzes Davidson’s metaphor theory to the succession of later Wittgenstein’s usage theory, and gives a brief review of Davidson’s theory of metaphor.
