摘 要：本文的研究分为上下两篇。上篇从器物的角度剖析器之器性的知识的缘起和认识论特性，下篇澄清了学术界经常混淆的世界和环境两个基础概念，论述了环境和世界与知识类型的关系。现代西方的科学实质是关于环境和环境中的事物的，属于物之物性的知识范型。器之器性的知识才是真正关于世界的知识，此类知识的客观性基础与描述环境中事物的知识根本不同，属于完全不同的知识范型。显然，这样的研究需要一种不同于现有的西方认识论和知识论体系的新基础。

On the Knowledge about Utensility of Utensils
WU Yue-ping
Abstract: The investigation of this paper focuses on the knowledge about utensility of utensils. It is divided into two parts: the first part analyses the origin and epistemological features of the knowledge about utensility of utensils from the perspective of utensils. The second part clarifies two fundamental concepts, i.e., world and environment, which are easily confused, and explains the relation between world and enviroment in connection with morphologies of knowledge. Modern Western sciences are essentially concerned about environment and those things in the environment, thus belong to the paradigm of the knowledge about the nature of things. However, only the knowledge about utensility of utensils can be regarded as the real knowledge about the world. This paradigm of knowledge is entirely different from that of the knowledge which mainly describes things in environment. It is obvious that investigation within such a paradigm need a new foundation that is different from the existing Western epistemology and systems of knowledge.
Key words: utensil; utensility; world; environment; knowledge about utensility of utensils
