摘要

哲学家的传记对评估其哲学有任何意义吗？在考虑并否定了对这一问题的三种不同论述之后，本文提出了一个不同的答案。本文将哲学文本的内容与方法区分开来，认为传记在三个方面与评估文本的方法相关：社会历史背景、哲学背景以及哲学家生活中的个人背景。这种策略提供了新的方法来比较截然不同的文本，并根据哲学家的写作目的对其进行评估。

Philosophy and biography

Does the biography of a philosopher have any relevance to assessing their philosophy? After considering and rejecting three distinct treatments of this question, a different answer is articulated here. Distinguishing between the content and approach of a philosophical text, this article argues that biography is relevant to assessing the approach of the text in three ways: in its socio-historical context, its philosophical context, and its personal context in the life of the philosopher. Such a strategy offers new ways of comparing very different texts and assessing them in terms of the aims of the philosopher writing them.
