陈嘉映:论理词与论理

作者:发布时间:2010-07-16浏览次数:287

  要:系统说理发展出专门论理的方式,其核心在论理词。比较一下“寻找钱包”和“寻找自我”、“把蛋糕分为平等的两份”和“人生来平等”,不难看出“自我”和后一个“平等”是论理词或语词的论理用法。考察了几种主要的论理用法,总体上说,论理词的意义不尽受日常用法约束,而多多少少是根据某些道理设计和规定的,要掌握论理词的确切含义,就需要了解它背后的理论。由于论理词较少受日常用法约束,若不加自律,论理领域很容易出现新语词新用法的癌变,从而降低论理的公共可理解性。最后建议论理者尽可能少创新语汇、新用法,如确需新创,最好用可感的语词及搭配创造合成词,尽可能与普通语言保持联系。

Dianoetic Words and Dianoesis

CHEN Jia-ying

Abstract: The development of systematic dianoesis tends to bring about a particular form of discourse, characterized foremost by the use of dianoetic words or, if the words are borrowed from ordinary discourse, by the dianoetic use of words.  The “I” in “the I is the limit of the world” and “equality” in “all men are created equal” are such examples.  Dianoetic use of words are of various kinds, some of which are discussed in my essay.  Generally speaking, dianoetic words are theory-loaded and not fully bound by their ordinary meaning.  Consequently, they may grow like cancer, as it indeed is the case nowadays.  It is worth recommending that we try greater self-discipline in dianoetic discourse and, when new words or new use appear necessary, make greater effort to keep the new ones connected with ordinary discourse.

Key words dianoetic words; ordinary use; theory-loaded
