摘要
詹姆斯建构彻底经验主义的首要任务就是要彻底清除二元论。传统二元论认为,物质和意识是绝对相异的两个对立的实体。詹姆斯先是证明物质和意识是同质的,然后再去掉它们的实体性。不过他认为,贝克莱已经很好地消解了物质的实体性,留给他的工作就是否定将意识视为一个实体的存在。为了解决这个问题,詹姆斯引入了"纯粹经验"作为世界上最原始的存在,以消除物质和意识的不可还原性与不可约简性,从而消除它们的本体论意义。这样,通过对同质性的证明以及实体性的消解,传统的二元论就此瓦解。
The first task of James constructed radical empiricism is that he wanted to eliminate dualism thoroughly. How did James clear dualism out？ Traditional dualism contended substance and consciousness are different and opposite. Aimed to this, James proved that substance and consciousness were consubstantial and then he removed substantiality. However, he thought Berkeley had already eliminated the substantiality of substance. His task is to eliminate the substantiality of consciousness. To solve this problem, James introduced the concept of ＂pure experience＂ which was thought the most original exist to eliminate the irreversibil- ity and irreducibility from substance and consciousness and then eliminate their ontological meaning. Therefore, traditional dualism was overthrown.
