杜威主张哲学既是社会历史及相应的各种文化形态发展的产物,又对后者的变化和发展产生重要影响。人的记忆、想像、情感等归根到底是从实践中得来的,但它们经过人的理智化、逻辑化等等的加工制作,就超越了原有的实践、现实生活。哲学是这二者分离的产物。在现代西方哲学家中,杜威以明确强调要批判和超越传统形而上学而著称;但他对形而上学本身并不全盘拒斥,在形而上学得以调和现实生活、实践与情感、信念等场合下,他甚至对其还有所肯定。
Dewey argues that philosophy is both a product of social history and the corresponding development of various cultural forms, and has an important influence on the latter’s changes and development. People’s memories, imagination, emotion and so on are in the final analysis obtained from practice, but after their rationalization and logical processing, they surpass the original practice and real life. Philosophy is the product of the separation of the two. Among modern Western philosophers, Dewey is famous for his explicit emphasis on criticizing and surpassing traditional metaphysics; yet he rejects metaphysics altogether, even under the condition that metaphysics can reconcile the real life, practice and emotion, and faith. Still sure.
