Abstract

In this paper, Leonard Waks investigates connections between listening and expertise or mastery, contrasting approaches from Eastern and Western philosophy. The first section accounts for listening in the Daoist classic Zhuangzi, a work addressing themes in Chinese philosophy through metaphor and story narratives. In one story a character named “Confucius” advises a student to fast the mind and listen recklessly. The affinity between reckless and what has been called “apophatic” listening is demonstrated by the shared feature of mental emptiness — listening without the imposition of conceptual categories. The second section demonstrates close affinities between the account of listening and expertise or mastery in the Zhuangzi and in the account of expert perception in contemporary Western philosophy and psychology, as exemplified by phenomenologist Hubert Dreyfus.

专业知识发展中的知觉、理性和直觉:对庄子和当代西方理论的思考
伦纳德-瓦克斯(Leonard Waks)在本文中通过对比东西方哲学的研究方法,探讨了倾听与专业知识或驾驭能力之间的联系。第一部分阐述了道家经典《庄子》中的倾听,这部作品通过隐喻和故事叙述来探讨中国哲学的主题。在一个故事中,一个名叫 "孔子 "的人物建议一个学生 "快心 "和 "罔听"。鲁莽的倾听与所谓的 "无知 "的倾听之间的亲和力体现在精神空虚这一共同特征上,即倾听时不强加概念范畴。第二部分展示了《庄子》中关于倾听和专业或精通的论述与当代西方哲学和心理学中关于专业知觉的论述之间的密切联系,现象学家休伯特-德雷福斯(Hubert Dreyfus)就是这方面的典范。
