后验必然命题:对“休谟问题” 的形而上学回答
Necessary a Posteriori Propositions:A Metaphysical Answer to Hume Problem
-
摘要: 克里普克通过“名称是严格指示词”的先天直觉,证明了专名之间的同一性命题、理论同一性命题和自然种类的一般陈述等后验命题具有普遍必然性。克里普克的后验必然命题是对“休谟问题”的形而上学回答,这一论证在认识论领域掀起了一场重要的革命,产生了深远的影响。Abstract: Drawing support from the natural intuition of the rigid designator, Kripke argues that the identical propositions between the proper names, the propositions expressing theoretical identifications, and the general propositions of natural sorts, are necessary a posteriori propositions. Kripke’s Necessary A Posteriori propositions is a metaphysical answer to Hume Problem, which leads to an important revolution and makes profound and lasting influence in epistemology.
