Typical type (English spelling)

Japanese: 典型 - てんけい(英語表記)type 英語
Typical type (English spelling)

A translation of type, which can also be translated as kata, kyusha, or genus. A type is a conceptualization of similarities and commonalities in the development, phenomenon, or function of something that generally exists. This term is used in many academic fields with its own meaning and is by no means unambiguous. For example, in the field of cultural and social phenomena, M. Weber and Dilthey showed ideal types of cultural phenomena and types of worldviews, and in the field of logic, B. Russell constructed the theory of types to try to resolve the set paradox. Kant posited the paradox as a medium between moral laws based in the world of knowledge and actions realized in the world of sensibility.

The concept of type is important from a philosophical point of view because it corresponds to the schema in theoretical philosophy and serves as a comprehensive interface between the world of sensibility and the world of knowledge.

Japanese:

タイプの訳語で、このほか、型、範型、類型などと訳される。一般に存在するものの、発生や現象や機能に関する類似性、共通性を概念化してタイプとよぶ。この語は多くの学問分野で独自の意味に用いられていて、けっして一義的ではない。たとえば、文化現象や社会現象については、M・ウェーバーやディルタイが文化現象の理想的な型や世界観の型を示し、論理学の分野では、B・ラッセルが階型理論theory of typesを組み立てて集合のパラドックスを解決しようとした。カントは、叡智(えいち)界に根拠をもつ道徳法則と感性界において実現される行為との間を媒介するものとして、範型を措定(そてい)した。

 理論哲学における図式に対応するもので、感性界と叡智界との間の総合的接点として、範型は注目される概念である。タイプの概念は、現実的存在と一種理念的なものとの媒介という性格をいずれの場合にももっていて、哲学的にみて重要である。
