詹姆士与颜元哲学都讲求实用,表现在他们反对唯理主义空谈,重视经验主义行动,以实用效果作为检验真伪的标准,并力图论证人的利益和需要的合理性。但各自所提倡的实用,在方法、目的、性质等方面又有着明显的差异,具有不同的阶级倾向。 Both James and Yanyuan philosophy emphasize practicality, as they oppose empty talk of rationalism, emphasize empiricist actions, take practical effects as a criterion for testing authenticity, and try to demonstrate the rationality of human interests and needs. However, the practicality advocated by each of them has obvious differences in terms of methods, purposes, and nature, and has different class tendencies.
