摘要
“物自体”是康德哲学的基础性概念。它不仅是理论理性的知识论概念 ,更是实践理性的本体性概念 ,二者之间构成了内在张力 ,贯穿于康德哲学的整个体系之中。康德哲学是可知论与不可知论的结合 ,是理性与非理性 (或超理性 )的矛盾统一 ,正是这种张力 ,推动着康德哲学体系的运转 ,而“物自体”是其轴心。康德对“物自体”的设定在于批判先验实在论 ,使人回到现实的经验世界 ,同时启迪人们从经验世界走向理想。而这都必须在实践中达成。康德哲学由此实现了知识与人文价值的结合 ,知识向人文价值的转化和生成 ;从而端正了西方智力思维的运思路径 ,为人类的实践活动和营造人性的生活世界指明了方向。
The 'thing-in-itself' is an underlying concept in Kantian philosophy. It is more an ontological concept of practical reason than an epistemological concept of theoretical reason. The inherent tension between the two is found throughout the entire system of Kantian philosophy. Kant combined knowability and agnosticism, and reason and non-reason (super-reason) in his philosophy. It is this tension that makes his system work, with the 'thing-in-itself' as its axis. The 'thing-in-itself' was designed to provide a critique of transcendental realism, a return to the real experience world, and a path to the ideal from the experience world. All these have to be achieved in practice. By joining knowledge and humanistic values, with the former transforming to and generating the latter, Kant set the direction for Western rational thought, serving as a signpost for human practice and a humanistic life world.
