塞尔的意向性理论探析

当代著名的哲学家约翰·塞尔立足于生物学自然主义立场驳斥了传统的唯物主义与二元论,创立了复杂而深刻的意向性理论。他借由意向性分析了心灵、语言与社会之间的密切关系,指出语言、各种社会现象均根源于意向性。塞尔的意向性理论不仅促进了心智哲学的发展,而且对于社会实在的研究以及自然科学与社会科学的区分具有重要的意义。

An Analysis of Searl's Theory of Intentionality

John Searl, a famous contemporary philosopher, refuted the traditional materialism and dualism, founded the complex and profound theory of intentionality, based on biological naturalism. He analyzed the close relationship between mind, language and society with the theory of intentionality, and pointed out that language and various social phenomena are rooted in intentionality. Searl''s theory of intentionality has not only promoted the development of philosophy of mind, but also has important significance for the study of the social reality and the distinction between natural sciences and social sciences.
