摘要
作为主体对对象的语词—符号说明或摹写 ,任何描述都必须以相应的规定为前提。作为主体为描述对象所做的规范性设定 ,任何规定都在客观根据和主观需要的张力中形成。这意味着描述具有明显的人类学特征 ,任何描述都具有规范的性质。描述的意义和适用范围是相对于作为其前提的规定而言的。当描述涉及作为自身前提的规定时 ,会因达到该描述的边界而失去意义。但在更高层次的新的规定的基础上做出超越原有规定的描述 ,则构成人类描述发展的基本方式。规定可以是明确的 ,也可以是隐含的 ,描述与作为自身前提的隐含规定相冲突是悖论产生的根源。规定及以其为前提的描述不仅具有相对性 ,而且具有合理性。规定和描述的合理化是人类描述发展的重要内容。
As a verbal symbolic account or portrayal of objects, a description must take some corresponding stipulation as its premise. As a standard enactment subject made for describing objects, all stipulations are formed in the tension between objective basis and subjective needs. This means that description has clear anthropological characteristics and therefore the nature of standard. The meaning and scope of application of a description are relative to and depends on the stipulation(s) as its premise(s). Description will reach its limits and lose its meaning when it describes the stipulation as the premise of itself. But a description that is made on the foundation of a higher level stipulation and goes beyond the original one will turn into the basic way of development of human description. Some stipulations are clear and definite, and others may be implied. When a description conflicts with the implied stipulation as the premise of itself, paradoxes arise. Stipulation and the description based on it involve not only the nature of relativity, but also the nature of reasonability. The rationalization of both stipulation and description are the important contents of the development of human description.
