业师蒋原伦先生在我读博期间,认为我在思考问题时通常会预设一个概念,通过对经验材料的分析,选择符合这个概念所能规定的东西,而不善于在具体的材料中发现问题,存在思维上的局限,于是向我推荐了杜威《确定性的寻求——关于知行关系的研究》这本书。深受西方古典哲学和美学影响,我的思维方式和对于知行关系的理解无疑属于杜威要颠覆的那种。《确定性的寻求》在某种程度上“倒转”了我既有的思维方式,逐渐建立从问题出发的“实践”意识。这种“倒转”直接表现为尽力避免根据固有的观念或者预设一些概念来解释经验现象,即使有观念的指导,这种观念也是“试验性”的, During my reading, Mr. Chiang Chul-lun, an industry practitioner, considered that when I think about a question, I often pre-define a concept which, by analyzing the empirical material, chooses something that can be specified by this concept and is not good at identifying problems in specific materials , There are limitations in thinking, so I recommended Dewey “certainty of seeking - on the relationship between knowledge and practice” book. Deeply influenced by Western classical philosophy and aesthetics, my way of thinking and my understanding of the relationship between knowing and disbelieving is undoubtedly the kind that Dewey wants to subvert. The “deterministic quest” somewhat “inverted” my existing way of thinking and gradually established a “practical” awareness of the problem. This “inversion” is a direct manifestation of trying to avoid explaining empirical phenomena based on inherent concepts or presuppositions that are “experimental” even with the guidance of ideas,
