Abstract

The disciplinary differentiation of sciences attracted Leibniz’s attention for a long period of time. From nowadays prospects it looks very well grounded as soon as in Leibniz’s manuscripts a modern scholar finds clue ideas of any research field which would tempt him to consider Leibniz as one of the founders of this particular discipline. We argue that this is possible only in retrospection and would significantly distort the essence of Leibniz’s epistemology. Our approach implies, in contrary, the investigation of the Leibniz doctrine of signs on the background of the related philosophical problem, that of expression. The choice of semiotics is justified by the fact that it took a central place in his theoretical constructions, both those of natural sciences and of philosophy. In Leibniz system of knowledge the concept of notes (notae) and sings (signa) served a theoretical foundation of his most important and long-life aspiration to build up practical science of universal characteristics (characteristica universalis). In his eyes this practical science was the science of sciences (Scientia scientiarum), and we can consider it as the matrix for all possible scientific knowledge.
G.W.莱布尼茨:符号与表达问题
科学的学科分化在很长一段时间内引起了莱布尼茨的注意。从今天的前景来看,只要一位现代学者在莱布尼茨的手稿中找到任何研究领域的线索,就会诱使他将莱布尼茨视为这一特定学科的创始人之一,这似乎是非常有根据的。我们认为,这只有在回顾中才有可能,并且会严重扭曲莱布尼茨认识论的本质。相反,我们的方法意味着,在相关的哲学问题,即表达问题的背景下,对莱布尼茨符号主义的研究。符号学的选择是合理的,因为它在他的理论建构中占据了中心位置,无论是自然科学还是哲学。在莱布尼茨的知识体系中,音符(notae)和歌唱(signa)的概念为他建立具有普遍特征的实践科学(characteristia universalis)的最重要和长期的愿望奠定了理论基础。在他看来,这门实用科学就是科学的科学,我们可以将其视为所有可能的科学知识的矩阵。

期刊介绍: Epistemology & Philosophy of Science is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal established in 2004 by the Institute of Philosophy (Russian Academy of Sciences). It is devoted to the themes in modern epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. The journal supports the policy of interdisciplinarity. It’s based on the belief that the comprehensive analysis of cultural phenomena couldn’t be completed without focusing on the problems of cognition. The epistemological analysis, however, needs the research results from human, social and natural sciences. Sections of the journal: 1.Editorial 2.Panel Discussion 3.Epistemology and Cognition 4.Language and Mind 5.Vista 6.Case Studies -Science Studies 7.Interdisciplinary Studies 8.Archive 9.Symposium 10.Book Reviews
