Nicolai Hartmann,Chung-hwan Chen's tutor in Berlin University,was reckoned to be one of the most original Ger-man philosophers in the first half of the 20th century,and had remarkable influence on Chen's studies of Plato's works. Though these two philosophers worked in different fields and talked with different academic communities, their respective positions in philosophical arguments could echo each other:on one hand,they defended the ontological status of cognitive objects,that is, they preserved their transcendent being-in-itself independent of knowledge;on the other hand,they developed methods of intui-tions corresponding to their ontology,and took intuition as the indispensable basis of inference. Thus Chen's studies of Plato are not only kind of treasure in the field of classical studies,but also reflect several important arguments in the German philosophy of the 20th century.%陈康先生在柏林大学的导师尼古拉·哈特曼在20世纪上半期被认为是德国最具原创性的哲学家之一;在陈康先生对柏拉图的研究著作中,其师的影响留下了清晰可辨的痕迹.两位先哲虽然研究领域有别,亦分别面对不同的学术群体,但其在哲学的论证与论战中所持的立场却能相互呼应:一方面,捍卫知识对象的存在论地位,即保证其不依赖于知识的超越性自在;另一方面,发展出与此种存在论相应的直观方法,并以之为推论方法的不可或缺的基础.因此,陈康先生的柏拉图研究不仅是古典哲学研究领域的财富,亦折射出20世纪德国哲学中的许多重要争论.
