"物自体"抑或"意义质点"?--略论感性的对象与感性认识

当我们在感性论中引入了“意义质点”的概念时，“物自体”这一概念的悖谬就显得一目了然了。所谓意义质点，就是根据认识和实践的目的不需要再分割的感性直观的最小单元。感性对象——现象，就是直观中的意义质点及它们之间的感性关系与认识主体相互作用的总和。它既有客观性又有主观性。感性认识的意义就在于把握意义质点之间的感性关系，而意义质点本身却从来都不是感性认识的对象。

"Things in Themselves" or "Meaning Particle"?

When we introduce the concept of "meaning particle" to aesthetic, the concept of "things in themselves" is becoming preposterous. Meaning particle is the last unit of intuition according to the aims of our cognition and practice. Appearance, which is the object of perceptual intuition, is the sum total of the relations among meaning particles in our intuition. It is both subjectivity and objectivity. Perceptual cognition is the actions intuiting the perceptual relations among meaning particles. But meaning particles themselves will never become the objects of perceptual cognitions.
