政治哲学家查尔斯·泰勒认为,对于人不能仅仅进行自然科学研究,或仅仅利用自然科学方法进行研究,因为如此研究漠视或否认自我解释与自我理解对人之存在所具有的决定性意义。因而,为全面准确地理解人就必须研究人的自我解释与自我理解,此研究必然内含对作为关键性先决条件的人的语言的研究。语言构造了人的生活,构成人之存在的方式。然而,语言不是单一个体的独立创造,语言及其承载的意义只有在语言共同体中才能生成与存在。语言共同体相对于个人而言都具有存在的必要性与优先性。任何人只有在语言共同体之中才是自我,任何个体都不可能是他自己的自我,而必须是处于对话网络之中的自我。
Charles Taylor, a political philosopher, argues that one can not do research only on natural sciences or only on natural sciences because of the decisive significance of disregard or deny the existence of self-interpretation and self-understanding. Therefore, in order to understand human beings comprehensively and accurately, it is necessary to study human’s self-explanation and self-understanding. This research inevitably contains the study of the language of people as the key prerequisite. Language constructs the way people live and constitute the existence of people. However, language is not an independent creation of a single individual, and the meaning of language and its bearing can only be generated and existed in the language community. Language community relative to the individual has the necessity and priority of existence. Anyone is self only in the language community, no individual can be his own self, but must be the self in the network of conversations.
