Philosophical progress is one of the most controversial topics in metaphilosophy. It has been widely debated whether philosophy makes any progress in history. This paper revisits the concept of philosophical progress. It first identifies two criteria of an ideal concept of philosophical progress. It then argues that our accounts of philosophical progress fail to provide such an ideal concept. Finally, it argues that not only do we not have a good concept of philosophical progress, we also do not need a concept of philosophical progress in order to arrive at a good understanding of the history of philosophy.

哲学不需要进步的概念

哲学进步是元哲学中最具争议的话题之一。哲学是否在历史上取得任何进步一直备受争议。本文重新审视了哲学进步的概念。它首先确定了哲学进步的理想概念的两个标准。然后它争辩说，我们对哲学进步的描述未能提供这样一个理想的概念。最后，它认为我们不仅没有一个好的哲学进步概念，而且我们也不需要一个哲学进步的概念来很好地理解哲学史。
