摘要: 《论颜色》是维特根斯坦晚期一部颇受争议的手稿。只有将其置于维特根斯坦思想发展的整体脉络之中,才能真正理解其中隐含的哲学深意。《逻辑哲学论》中的颜色不相容难题直接导致其早期哲学体系的断裂,而《论颜色》中对颜色感知的不确定性及“透明的白色”(W&T)难题的深入探讨则既呼应着《哲学研究》的基本思路,又启示出新的内涵。借助当代颜色科学和哲学研究的前沿成果,我们得以对此种内涵进行深入反思。

关键词: 颜色不相容, 不确定性, W&, T难题

Abstract: Remarks on Colour is no doubt one of the most controversial manuscripts of later Wittgenstein. To fully comprehend its profound but sometimes intricate arguments, we need to put it back into the overarching development of his thinking, that is, from Tractatus to Investigation and beyond. If the aporia of “colour exclusion” can be considered as the main motivation leading to the rupture of his early system, the indeterminacy of colour percept/concept which was originally proposed as a feasible solution has also some implicit meaning within its context. With the contributions from contemporary colour science, this thesis intends to bring this meaning to light.

Key words: colour exclusion, indeterminacy, aporia of W&, T
