高達美詮釋學：實體形上學(metaphysics of substance)與光芒形上學(metaphysics of light)

Abstract

本計畫要說明高達美詮釋學的光芒形上學及西方傳統哲學的實體形上學的 關係，我希望藉由這兩種形上學所引申的真理概念，來對它們作一比較，最後證 實光芒形上學較實體形上學更為原初。 本文從三方面探討光芒形上學的真理概念，以便與實體形上學的真理概念 作一比較：1.從光芒形上學的光的本性論真理概念，2.從光的來源論真理概念， 和3.從光的方向論真理概念。在這個工作裡，我不僅對光芒形上學所蘊涵的真理 概念作了一個完備的說明，也同時比較它與實體形上學的真理概念。由於光芒讓 實體得以呈現，因此光芒形上學較實體形上學更為原初，並且，前者蘊涵的真理 概念也比後者所蘊涵的更為原初。於是，我們證實前者比後者更為原初。

The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between the metaphysics of light in Gadamer’s hermeneutics and the metaphysics of substance in western traditional philosophy. I try to achieve this aim by an illustration on and a comparison with the concept of truth implied in both metaphysics. Finally I argue that the metaphysics of light is more primordial than the metaphysics of substance. I illustrate the concept of truth in the metaphysics of light by the following questions: 1. What is the nature of light? 2. Where does the light come from? and 3. What are the directions of light? In answering these questions I provide, on the one hand, a full description of the concept of truth, and on the other hand, its comparison with the concept of truth in the metaphysics of substance is analyzed. Since light shines on substance and makes its appearance, I argue that light is more primordial than substance. Accordingly the metaphysics of light is more primordial than the metaphysics of substance. Also, the concept of truth implied in the former is more primordial than that in the latter.
