“本体”概念与近似概念的语义学辨析——推进新世纪我国文艺学、美学研究的一个问题

新时期我国文艺学、美学研究频繁使用的＂本体＂一词,它每每被和本质、本原、本源、本性、本身等近似概念相混同,遭遇着较随意的使用状况。为了推进新世纪有关文艺本体论的讨论,需要先对＂本体＂概念和上述近似概念进行立足于学理的语义学辨析。这项工作同时包括义理和词源两个层面。通过深入地辨析表明,本体论不是简单研究本体的理论,而是研究存在的学说,由于不同的思想立场,本体论分别形成不同的研究对象和方法。

The Semantic Discrimination between "Ousia" and its Homoionym——An Issue to Advance Chinese Literary and Aesthetical Research in New Era

In new era, ＂Ousia＂ has been frequently used in the research of Chinese literary theory and aesthetics. However, this important concept has always been confused with some homoionyms such as ＂essence＂ ,＂ archein＂ ,＂ origin＂ ,＂ nature＂ and ＂console＂, and suffers from abuse. Therefore, before advancing the discussion about literary ontology, it is necessary to do a semantic discrimination theoretically about this concept and its ho- moionyms in both theory and etymon. Deep discrimination shows that ontology is a theory about Being, rather than a study only about Ousia, and that ontology has gradually evolved into different methods when facing with different objects from distinct viewpoints.
