摘 要:
对分析命题和综合命题进行一番历时性梳理,剖析奎因在论证上的偏颇之处:其一,混淆了定义与同义词之间的界限;其二,扩大了同义词的范畴;其三,错误地将词项同义的条件限定在满足“所有语境”的情况下,从而得出结论奎因对形而上学的批判并不构成挑战。[著者文摘]

On Distinction between Analytic Proposition and Synthetic Proposition ——On Refutation of Quine's Argumentation
XIAO Xian (School of Foreign Languages, Chongqing Institute of Technology, Chongqing 400050, China)
Abstract:
This paper focuses on Quine' s challenge to the analytic-synthetic distinction by metaphysics, and holds that the fallacies of Quine in his argumentation can be recapitulated in three aspects: (1) blurring the demarcation between definition and synonymy; (2) over-generalizing the category of synonymy. Actually it is unnecessary to make two terms synonymous by definition; (3) misunderstanding the condition of synonymy. Therefore a conclusion can be drawn that Quine' s argumentation does not pose any challenge to metaphysics.[著者文摘]
Key words:
analytic proposition; synthetic proposition; synonymy; definition
