Abstract

ABSTRACT:The author proposes to convert Ayn Rand's theory of man into a sixth branch of her Objectivist philosophy called the metaphysics of man (more widely referred to by names such as philosophical anthropology). This branch would be distinct from both the metaphysics of reality (more generally called ontology) and epistemology. Along with consolidating all the axioms about the fundamental nature of man (and thus eliminating the various bridge theories, including the bridge theory of man, the anteroom to epistemology, and metaphysical value-judgments about man), this new framework will simplify and clarify the structure of Objectivism.

“人的形而上学”应该是客观主义哲学的第六个分支吗？

摘要:本文拟将安·兰德的人的理论转化为其客观主义哲学的第六个分支，即人的形而上学(更广泛地称为哲学人类学)。这一分支将不同于现实形而上学(通常称为本体论)和认识论。随着所有关于人的基本本性的公理的巩固(从而消除各种桥梁理论，包括人的桥梁理论，认识论的前厅，关于人的形而上学价值判断)，这个新的框架将简化和澄清客观主义的结构。
