苏格兰哲学家诺曼·肯普·史密斯(1872-1958)最著名的作品是他1929年翻译的康德的《纯粹理性批判》,以及他对笛卡尔、休谟和康德的精辟评论。这些成就使他在几个领域的原创哲学作品黯然失色,包括时间的经验。肯普·斯密是一位同情唯心主义的现实主义者,他将康德的时间概念发展为一种“纯粹直觉”的非先验版本(尽管他坚持认为时间知觉涉及“范畴”)。他运用这一概念来解决一个在20世纪早期的欧洲和美国哲学中被广泛讨论的问题,威廉·詹姆斯称之为“似是而非的现在”:如果我们只感知现在,我们怎么能感知一个延长的持续时间,比如一个完整的高尔夫挥杆,或者一个简短的曲调的节奏?一个与此密切相关的问题是:如果我们只感知现在,我们如何区分未来、现在和过去?在本文中,我解释了肯普史密斯提出的解决方案,并将其与他同时代的两个影响:塞缪尔亚历山大和乔治F。斯托特最后,我认为,这些问题仍然存在,而且可能会持续一段时间,特别是如果我们忽视先前讨论中提出的见解的话。
The Scottish philosopher Norman Kemp Smith (1872–1958) is best known for his 1929 English translation of Kant’sCritique of Pure Reason, and for his incisive commentaries on Descartes, Hume, and Kant. These achievements have overshadowed his original philosophical work in several areas, including the experience of time. A realist with idealist sympathies, Kemp Smith developed a non-transcendental version of Kant’s conception of time as a ‘pure intuition’ (though he insisted that temporal perception involved ‘categories’). He employed this conception to solve a problem that was widely discussed in early twentieth-century European and American philosophy, which William James dubbed the ‘specious present’: how can we perceive an extended duration, like a full golf swing, or the cadence of a brief tune, if we only perceive the present? A closely related problem: if we only ever perceive the present, how can we distinguish among the future, present, and past? In this paper, I explain Kemp Smith’s proposed solution, and compare it with two of his contemporary influences: Samuel Alexander and George F. Stout. Finally, I suggest that these problems are still with us, and are likely to be for some time, especially if we ignore the insights offered by earlier discussions.
