哲学史上关于意义理论存在弗雷格式和后期维特根斯坦式两种研究进路。弗雷格对“意义”与“指称”的区分和应用引发了“弗雷格难题”。伊莱休·卡茨认为他的第三种研究进路可以解决这一难题。卡茨指明了维特根斯坦前后期思想之间存在着两大关键共同点,认为第二种研究进路也并不尽善尽美。通过对前两种研究进路的批判,卡茨对第三种研究进路的建构背景、优势、思路和具体方法进行了阐述。 Philosophical History of the Theory of Meaning There Fury and Late Wittgenstein two approach to research. The distinction and application of Frege to “meaning ” and “reference ” triggered “Frege problem”. Elihu Katz thinks his third approach to research can solve this problem. Katz points to two key points in common between the ideas of Wittgenstein’s predecessors and later ones, that the second approach is not perfect. Through the critique of the first two research approaches, Katz elaborated the construction background, advantages, ideas and specific methods of the third research approach.
