摘要
从2600年以前思考世界构造的爱奥尼亚学派开始,人们就认为人类是自然的一部分,因而自然的共相也适用于我们。威尔逊由此信念出发试图把自然科学和人文科学统一起来。但罗蒂却认为关心社会公正是知识分子的重要任务,而自然科学所宣扬的统一性是一种潜在的为强权进行的辩护。然而,我们看到正是通过逐渐认识自然界的共相,人类才取得了启蒙以来的社会进步,因此自然科学追求统一性的观点是完全正确的。
Since the Ionian, who have pondered the world's composition 2,600 years ago, human beings have taken Humanity as a part of Nature, hence the universals of Nature apply to us. From this point of view, Wilson try to unite natural sciences with humanities. But Rorty thinks that one of the Intellectuals' important tasks is concerning for social justice, while the unity advocated by natural scientists is a kind of potential pleading for Power. However, the fact we see is that, only through the natural universals progressively recognized by human beings, we have made various kinds of social progresses. So the point of view that natural sciences should pursue for unity is absolutely correct.
