Kongming21 Posted February 13, 2011 at 03:56 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 at 03:56 PM HEy everyone, just came across this sentence and dont quite get it. 哲学是以真理的名义考察何为真理的反思性实践。 Does 何为 mean "what is?" What does 反思性 mean here? The "rethought practice?" Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kongming21 Posted February 16, 2011 at 07:17 AM Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 at 07:17 AM Thanks for the help. But could someone try to translate the sentence ? All I can come up with is: Philosophy is a reflective practice that in the name of the truth investigates what the truth is. Does that make any sense at all?
