摘要: 1996年,一篇名为《保卫理论》的文章将“理论”置于一个由它所假定相反的术语所构成的力场中。本文则以该文章的观点为基础,来探讨在众多当代话语中,“哲学”如何已被看作是“理论”的反义词。本文认为,尽管这两个术语的意义和内涵往往截然不同,但它们将得益于一种对话,在这场对话中,二者的优势都被普遍认可,而不会将它们按照等级来定位或变成乏味的同义词。

Abstract: Building on the argument of a 1996 piece called "For Theory," which situated "theory" in a force field of its putative opposite terms, this essay explores the way "philosophy" has come to be considered an antonym of "theory" in much contemporary discourse. It argues that despite their often contrasting meanings and connotations, the two terms would benefit from a dialogue in which the strengths of each were acknowledged without their being either hierarchically positioned or turned into bland synonyms.
