从"历史先天"来看福柯的知识考古学

该文试图考察福柯的自律的话语理论并反思考古学的症结。文章从“历史先天”这一关键词出发,阐述福柯的知识考古学如何将对话语的实证描述和探索话语构成的先天规则结合起来,从而保证其在对话语的形式分析的同时,超越传统哲学深陷其中的三对矛盾：“经验-先验”、“我思-未思”、“本源的隐退-回归”。围绕着“陈述”的三个特性,我们可以看到福柯为此所做的努力,即打通共时与历时之隔,经验与先验之分,实现结构主义和实证主义的联姻。文章最后指出这种自律的话语理论的症结所在,认为福柯并没有如愿以偿地跳出“有限性解析”的窠臼。     

Children of the Nile: Archeology and the Coptic Church

Abstract

The contribution of archaeology to religious history has often been one of providing verification and clarification of accepted textual statements (if available) and expanding the knowledge of the physical forms of a specific branch of a major belief system. While the place of archaeological researches within the development of Biblical studies is somewhat familiar to scholars of Christian history, its association with the history of eastern Christianity is less well-known. This article will focus on one of the more unique denominations within the eastern Christian community, the Coptic Orthodox Church, and the varied ways in which archaeologyaeology and its allied disciplines have illuminated its past.
