摘　要：

蒯因的自然主义的理论来源是实用主义和经验主义，其显著标志是把哲学化归为自然科学，把认识论化归为经验心理学或进化认识论。无论实用主义还是进化论都与目的论密切相关，这使自然主义与目的论有着不解之缘。“自然”概念和目的论的结合早在亚里士多德的哲学中就体现出来。康德提出先验的合目的性原则，进一步为目的论奠定了哲学基础。由于蒯因摈弃了包括目的论在内的全部先验哲学，这不仅使自然主义失去根基，而且使其充斥矛盾，这在其本体论中显得尤为突出。

Naturalism and Teleology:And a Comment on Quine’s Ontology
 

Chen Xiaoping （South China Normal University）

Abstract:The sources of Quine’s naturalism are pragmatism and empiricism, and its significant point is that philosophy is reduced into natural science, and epistemology is reduced into empirical psychology or evolutionary epistemology. Both pragmatism and evolutionism are closely related to teleology, thus there is an indissoluble bound between naturalism and teleology. The combination of concept “nature” and teleology was embodied in Aristotle’s philosophy long before. Kant proposed the transcendental principle of purposefulness, and further provided a philosophical basis for teleology. Because Quine completely abandons transcendental philosophy (including teleology), his naturalism not only loses its root but has contradictions, particularly acute in his ontology.
