摘要

「歷物十事」的解釋學困境表現在，如果惠施的論題是可理解的，那麼必須從相對主義和視角主義出發進行解釋，但是，相對主義和視角主義的多元論傾向又與惠施本人的一元論主旨很難協調一致。構造解釋是針對「方生方死」而給出的一種新解釋。相比於歸謬論證和自返論證，構造解釋可以擺脫上述困境。構造解釋是說，通過視角的交匯或事件的重疊構造出確切的時間點，通過視角的轉換或事件的排列構造出整全一體的時間軸，由此實現從視角主義多元論到一元論的跳躍。構造解釋不僅受到羅素時間構造的啟發，而且體現了「方」這個漢語副詞的本義及其時體意義的演化。

A hermeneutic dilemma for Hui Shi's ten theses is that his theses are understandable only from the perspective of pluralism, which conflicts with his own key thought as monism. The construction interpretation could provide a new explanation for Hui Shi's thesis ＂fang sheng fang si＂. The construction interpretation says that the overlapping of events leads to the definition of an exact instant, and the ordering of events results in the construction of a single time. Thus, the leap from pluralism to monism is realized. The construction interpretation is not only influenced by Russell's construction of time, but also reflects the evolution of the tense and aspect uses of the temporal adverb ＂fang＂ in the Chinese language.
