关于维特根斯坦的“哲学治疗”概念

维特根斯坦以“治疗”喻哲学,视哲学为对形而上学的诊治。前后期他的这一思想是一贯的,但由于其前后期语言有天壤之别,因而对病因的论断也就大相径庭。前期语言批判观虽然有可说与不可说之分,可是其根据却恰是不可说的超验逻辑,一种形而上学的东西。后期哲学所要治疗的主要正是这种超验逻辑主义。

On Wittgenstein's Philosophy Therapy

Wittgenstein compares "therapy" to philosophy. He thinks that the function of philosophy is to cure metaphysics. He holds this view during his whole life time. As his language philosophy in his later years changes greatly from that of his early years, his view of the cause for the disease changes greatly too. In his early philosophy of language, he distinguishes what can be said and what can not be said. But this difference is based on the unspeakable transcendental logic which still belongs to metaphysics. His later philosophy aims at eliminating this kind of transcendental logic.
