柏拉图“理念论”如何形成的假说
写读书笔记,结果整理出了一套假说(当然没有什么史料证据),用以解释柏拉图“理念论”的形成。以下为读书笔记。
Lives of The Eminent Philosoohers, Diogenes Laertius
从书柜里随机抽出来的,翻翻柏拉图这章。Diogenes一个公元后200年的罗马人,也不知道哪里搜集的资料,还用了一条线索,整理出了柏拉图“理念论”的形成逻辑。
我的理解如下:
第一步、根据认识途径,对“存在”进行二元划分。
1, everything senses is constantly changing and this is fearsome and ridiculous because if so, everything is always “becoming” and nothing “is”/exists.
2, there is something that exists
3, there is something that exists and cannot be sensed
4, things can either be sensed or thought
5, by 1,2,3,4, things that “are”/exist can only be thought
6, it is ridiculous that a thing can be both “sensed” and “thought”.
C, by 5,6, there exist two category of things: one kind can only be thought while the other kind can only be sensed
上述逻辑完成了对“存在”的二元划分
第二步、从本体论角度,分别解释由认识方式不同而二元划分的两类存在
1, Things that are thought are “ideas”(理念)
2, Things that are thought exist/will not change/are eternal (从第一步)
C1, by 1,2, ideas exist/will not change/are eternal
1, Things that are sensed are “ordinary objects” like tables and chairs
2, things that are sensed always change/do not exist/are becomings (从第一步)
C2, by 1,2, ordinary objects like tables and chairs are becomings/always change/do not exist
第三步、进一步细化“理念”
1, there are more than one distinct “ideas” (柏拉图男人的直觉lol)
2,”Ideas” include “justice”, “beauty”, “goodness”, etc.
第四步、重新建立被二元切割的两种存在之间的关系
ordinary objects are simulations of ideas such that if a thing is sensed as beautiful than it simulates the idea of beauty in some degree
第五步、进一步澄清什么是think、什么是sense,以及各种中间态
我猜测,柏拉图只会认为数学般抽象、逻辑的思维,才叫think;sense只需要用纯粹的感官体验来定义即可
第六步、澄清介于理念idea和日常事物之间的各种perceptible、conceivable的东西
由此六步,柏拉图理念论的大厦就建立起来了。虽然我不信这套吧hhhh
