作者在论文的开头对休谟和倾向主义关于因果性的说明进行了比照。但是,作者并不认为倾向主义说明与休谟的说明是截然对立的,而认为倾向主义是对休谟的形而上学的超越。倾向主义力图将因果概念加以延展,使之具有更广泛和更丰富的适用性。为了这一目标,倾向主义否弃了意向性概念、心物对立以及独立的物理事物,等等。作者试图通过提出诚概念来将各种不同的倾向主义观点联系起来,并对倾向主义中的某些重要概念做出阐述。在作者看来,如果他的观点可以成立的话,那么实在就是一个由“诚”形成的整体,而物理主义和二元论则是将当今实在的某些方面加以绝对化的表现形式。作者认为,面对经验科学新理论的发展,传统的因果性和意向性概念需要修正,因此,诚的视角会产生一种新的自然主义。
At the beginning of the paper, the author compares Hume’s and tendencies about causal explanations. However, the author does not think that the description of inclinations is diametrically opposite to that of Hume, and that it is transcendence of Hume’s metaphysics. Probitarianism seeks to extend the concept of causality to make it broader and richer in its applicability. For this purpose, propensityism rejected the notion of intentionality, the opposition of mind and body, and the independent physical things, and so on. The author tries to relate different kinds of tendencies through the concept of honesty, and elaborates some important concepts of it. From the author’s point of view, if his point of view can be established, then it is really a whole formed by “honesty ”, whereas physicalism and dualism are expressions of absolute certain aspects of today’s reality. The author believes that in the face of the development of the new theory of empirical science, the traditional concepts of causality and intention need to be revised, therefore, the honest perspective will produce a new kind of naturalism.
