针对现代文化中关于人是自足主体之观念的内在困惑,泰勒强调:人本质上是在处境关联中建构意义世界的存在者,并非完全自足的主体。泰勒立足存在论来探讨人之为人的构成基础:个体在其存在活动中展开其意义世界,而意义的澄清又深刻依赖文化共体;后者提供根源性的意义境域,人的存在为之导向而无限展开。泰勒不仅反思了共体文化价值对人的构成性意义,也为处理现代人所面临的自我困境提供了诊疗。 In response to the inherent confusion in modern culture about the idea that man is a self-contained subject, Taylor emphasizes that man is essentially a human being who constructs a world of meaning in contextual relations and is not a fully self-sufficient subject. Based on Ontology, Taylor explores the foundations of human beings’ human beings: Individuals expand their world of meaning in their existing activities, while the clarification of meaning relies heavily on cultural communities; the latter provides the root meanings of meaning and the orientation of human existence And unlimited expansion. Taylor not only reflects on the constitutional significance of the cultural value of the community, but also provides treatment for the self-plight facing the modern people.
