【摘要】 当代西方哲学界普遍存在“初始概念”滥用的现象，它折射出一种回避实质性问题的“理性懒惰”。随意设定初始概念存在多重弊端：制造虚假的明晰性，引发无意义的语词之争；将“暂时未能厘清”混同于“在原则上不可分析”；在各思想体系间构筑理解壁垒，妨碍哲学对话与交流的有效进行；将此类概念奉为不容置疑的研究起点，削弱哲学的反思精神；曲解人类概念体系的网状整体结构，陷入“绝对初始性”的独断论认知。此外，部分为设定初始概念所作的论证，既缺乏逻辑一致性，也不具备实践合理性。据此提出并辩护了两大主张：其一，要为初始概念的设定确立严格的标准与前提条件，尤其是语义澄清环节，并对其数量与适用范围加以限定；其二，秉持“相对初始性”原则，将语义澄清与哲学反思贯穿于整个研究过程。真正的哲学进步，需要消解语词之争，聚焦于哲学的实质性问题。更多还原

【Abstract】 The misuse of “primitive concepts” is prevalent in contemporary Western philosophy, which reflects a form of “rational laziness” that evades substantive issues. Arbitrarily positing primitive concepts gives rise to multiple drawbacks: it creates false clarity and triggers meaningless verbal disputes; confuses “being temporarily unclear” with “being unanalyzable in principle”; erects barriers to understanding between various intellectual systems and hinders the effective conduct of philosophical dialogue and communication; regards such concepts as unquestionable research starting points and weakens the reflective spirit of philosophy; and misinterprets the holistic network structure of the human conceptual system, thus falling into the dogmatism of “absolute primacy”. Furthermore, some arguments for positing primitive concepts lack both logical consistency and practical rationality. This paper has put forward and justified two core propositions—first, to establish strict criteria and preconditions(especially the link of semantic clarification) for positing primitive concepts, and to restrict their quantity and scope of application; second, to adhere to the principle of “relative primacy” and incorporate semantic clarification and philosophical reflection throughout the entire research process. Genuine philosophical progress requires eliminating verbal disputes and focusing on the substantive issues of philosophy.更多还原
