摘要
康德的空间概念是以两种方式加以阐释的,即形而上学的方式和先验的方式,我把它们分别理解为"分析性的"和"整体论的"。康德强调直观在理解空间以及时间概念中的重要作用。康德的空间概念就是,空间不表象任何一些物自身的属性,它不过是外感官的一切显象的先天直观形式。在《逻辑哲学论》中,维特根斯坦依据康德在《未来形而上学导论》中关于左右手无法完全重合的论述,认为空间是我们借以显现事物存在的方式。在维特根斯坦那里,空间概念应当属于不能描述而只能显示的东西,但在康德那样,空间概念则被用于说明知性活动的方式。通过对康德和维特根斯坦的空间概念的比较分析,我发现,维特根斯坦实际上给出了一种全新的空间观。
Kant explores the concept of space in two ways:metaphysical and transcendental,both of which,for my understanding,should be analytical and holistic respectively.Kant emphasizes the fundamental role of intuition in understan-ding the concepts of space and time.His conception of space might be that space is nothing but a transcendental and intuitive form of all appearances by the outer sense,without any appearance of properties of thing-in-itself.Wittgenstein in Tractatus claims,however,that,according to Kant's statements about the non-congruence of the left and right hands in his Prolegomena,space is the way by which we can show the existence of things.For Wittgenstein that the concept of space should be one that cannot be described but showed;but for Kant it should be the way by which we can explain activities in understan-ding.A comparison of Kant and Wittgenstein's conceptions of space implies that Wittgenstein gives us a new understanding of space.
