六書學說的現象學詮釋

On the Mode of Thinking Engendered from the Chinese Script in Its Relation to the Chinese Language: Humboldt's Quest and Subsequent Developments

本文旨在運用現象學（特別是胡塞爾）的概念和方法，對許慎以來的六書學說作重新的解讀。本文首章先就題目作解釋及說明方法運用之原委。第二章則重點處理四組對後續討論至關重要的現象學概念：包括意向行為、整體－－部分邏輯、範疇直觀，和行為的質料與質性等。第三章則從現象學觀點對六書個別地作詳細分析。第四、即最後一章則試圖勾勒整個解釋的意義，及從跨學科的角度提出一些期許。

This paper attempts at applying phenomenological, predominantly Husserlian concepts and distinctions to a new interpretation of the doctrine of the ＂six ways＂ of Chinese script formation as first explained by Xu Shen 許慎 (ca. 58-ca. 147). After a short introductory section explaining the subject matter and methodological background of the paper, the second preparatory but elaborated section focuses on four selected phenomenological issues that are of crucial importance, namely, intentional acts, part-whole logic, categorial intuition, and act material versus act qualities. In the third and main section, the ＂six ways＂ are discussed in detail one after the other in the light of the phenomenological concepts just explained. In the fourth and concluding section, the meaning of such a new interpretative attempt is recapitulated and projected from a cross-disciplinary perspective.
