Psychology,Normative And Practice:on Order-Imagination In A Perspective Of Wittgenstein's Philosophy Of Psychology

This thesis is a methodological reflection on the study in philosophy of social science under the post-positivistic context since from the second decade of the 20th century,which will be conducted in a perspective of the methodological influence from Wittgenstein's philosophy of psychology.Based on this,in chapter 1,I will begin with Wittgenstein's thoughts on relation between the nature of philosophy and the sense-psychological order in the very early stage of his so-called 'transition'.With backing to 'phenomenon' and 'everydayness',Wittgenstein realized that there is a deep connection between philosophical description on sense-psychological order and the ordinary expression on our everyday experiences.This pragmatics-conceptual connection deeply depends on the identification of the psychological environment that provides the critical conditions for individual's interpersonal transformation.Wittgenstein then tried to argue that our understanding of the relation between psychological order and social state is deeply rooted in our everyday language practice.Furthermore,the plurality,complicity and the empirical expansion in our language practice impels Wittgenstein transforms from the pure empirical expressions to the more complicate psychological conceptions.In chapter 2,I will focus on the pragmatics normative aspect of psychological order,which based on the investigation on James's theory of intention and Kohler's Gestalt theory,and try to reveal the implicit thought frameworks and philosophical models.We will see that this exploration plays an important role in Wittgenstein's later work and also provides us some thought-provoking insights on understanding of our role in public society.In this view,I will explore the possible influences on the three critical dimensions in our social life,i.e.normativity,objectivity and complicity.The discussion of normativity,in chapter 3,will be closely connected to the operating form of the conceptual order.I will limit this topic on perceptual experiences and try to reveal in what sense our practical perceptual expression is related to the normative aspect of conceptual order.Thus,I will regard McDowell's normative-oriented reconstruction of Wittgenstein as a case-study and try to make clear in what sense his so-called Quietism's approach will miss Wittgenstein's real expectation.This analysis on conceptual normativity touched the relation between Wittgenstein's philosophy of psychology and Aristotle's practical philosophy,which reveals clearly in the philosophical reflections on 'practical inference' and the causal objectivity of action.Thus,in chapter 4,I will focus on the 'occlusive' state in the tie of causation between the problem of objectivity and Wittgenstein's remarks on our psychological order.Based on this,I will try to reveal the possible connotation in two philosophical models which both will be reflected under the lens of Wittgenstein,i.e.the Phenomenological depictions of the order of 'Beginning' and 'Initial State',and the Psychoanalytical reflections on the framework of' inner-outer'.The dissection of practical inference reveals the complicity of our ordinary life,the later is closely related to a plural,open and self-referential intellectual situation.Furthermore,in chapter 5,I will regard the Nordic plural-modernity,which is discussed systematically by Skirbekk,as a sample that reveals the complicity of the everydayness in terms of its diversified practical situation,multi-dimensional proliferation and self-referential internal normativity.The point is,this practical model of plural-modernity closely depends on a re-evaluation of Wittgenstein under the perspective of contextual pragmatics,which is deeply rooted in the philosophical analysis on everydayness and the order of our ordinary language.
