麦克道尔发展康德关于经验知识的观点,指出自发性从一开始便在感受性中发挥作用,自发性运用于感受性之中形成的经验已经具有概念性内容,由此才能为我们的知识和关于世界的信念提供合理性根据。概念化的经验消解了所与论和融贯论在知识辩护问题上的理论困境,既保证了世界对知识的理性限制,又能为知识的确证提供理由,这种对经验的新阐释体现了麦克道尔对传统经验概念的超越。 McDowell developed Kant’s view of empirical knowledge, pointing out that spontaneity plays a role in sensibility from the very beginning and that the experience formed spontaneously in sensibility has been conceptual in nature, and thus can we provide our knowledge and understanding of the world The belief provides a rationale base. The conceptualization of experience eliminates the theoretical predicament of the theory of cohesion and coherence on the issue of knowledge defense, which not only guarantees the world’s rational restriction of knowledge but also provides reasons for the confirmation of knowledge. This new interpretation of experience shows that Michael Doyle goes beyond the traditional concept of experience.
