The difference between reality and meaning.
For a phenomenology which wants to be more than the art of careful observation and description,a phenomenology which rather thematizes the modes of appearance of the things in contrast to their self-existence(Selbstsein),the basic formula is not ‘something is’ but rather ‘something appears as something’,i.e.it appears in a specific meaning.
And if we take the corresponding behaviour as our point of departure,the formula is not:‘we mean something’,but rather,‘we mean (see,hear,judge,treat,effect) something as something’.
This significational difference is the fundamental difference which cannot be undercut and can not be derived from anything else,since any such attempt presupposes it.
The ‘as’ is the point on which human behaviour and worldly reality turn.
It is a matter of a unity in difference which resists the dualistic conception of external reality and internal consciousness.
But it is also a matter of a difference in unity which excludes a reductionist approach.
Meaning cannot be reduced to a part of reality; the experienced is not a pure given,as certain forms of realism or positivism would have it (the model of the mirror).
This speaks against,for example,a behaviourist theory which reduces sense to physical stimulus.
By the same token,reality cannot be reduced to a moment of meaning; that which we experience is not a pure creation,as certain forms of idealism would have it (the model of creation).This speaks against theories of consciousness which take the object to be a pure of X of possible determinations.
Rather,reality is constituted in theoretical and practical experience.
What we are confronted with here is a horizontal mediation of inner and outer,of the subjective and the objective.
Correctly understood,the phenomenological reduction is nothing other than the conscious return to this difference; it serves simultaneously the ‘liberation of the “subject” and the ‘liberation of the “object”’.
现实与含义之差异
对于不仅仅需要掌握仔细观察描述之艺术的现象学,对于把事物的显示模式而非自我存在(Selbstsein)主题化的现象学,其基本公式不是“某物是”,而是“某物显示如某物”,即,某物以特定的含义而显示.
如果把相应的行为视作我们的出发点,其公式不是“我们意指某物”,而是“我们意指(看到,听到,判断,对待,促成)某物如某物”.
这种重大差异是根本性的差异,它无法剥夺,无法从其它任何事物中取得,因为任何类似尝试都预设了此差异.
“如”是人类活动和世界现实所闻绕的中心点.它涉及差异统一,这与外部现实和内部意识的二元观念相抵触.
不过,它也涉及到统一差异,从而排除归纳还原的可能.含义无法还原成现实的一部分;所经验的东西并非纯粹的既定事实,而某些形式的现实主义或实证主义却对此持相反意见(镜像模式).这与,比如说,把感知还原成物理刺激的行为主义理论不合.
同样,现实无法还原成某一刻的含义;我们所经验的现实不是纯粹的创造物,而某些形式的理想主义却对此持相反意见(创造物模式).这与认为纯粹是客观才导致可能之决断的意识理论不合.
确切言之,现实由理论经验和实际经验构建而成.我们此处所面临的,是围绕内与外、围绕主观与客观而进行的视域沉思.
正确的理解是,现象学中的还原只能是有意识地回归此种差异;这同时有益于“对‘主观’和‘客观’的解放”.
