“动态的空”与历程哲学——宗教间创造性的相互转化的一个案例分析

本文首先分析了在耶佛对话的背景下,阿部正雄是如何向西方对话伙伴阐释佛教"空"的思想,并指出阿部诠释"空"的最大特色在于其"动态性"。接着,针对一些学者认为阿部的"空"观沿袭了中国传统佛教对"空"的阐释,本文提出了不同看法,认为阿部对"空"的诠释有其独创性。最后,通过分析怀特海的历程思想与阿部"空"的联系,指出阿部对"空"的创造性阐释受到了其宗教对话的启发,实践了"促进宗教间创造性的相互转化"的理念。

Dynamic Sunyata and Process Thought: A Case Study of Mutual Transformation in Religious Dialogue

This article first expounds how Masao Abe interpret Buddhist idea of sunyata in the context of Buddhist-Christian Dialogue, pointing out that the most important characteristic of his interpretation is taking Sunyata as a dynamic activity rather than a static state. Then it examines some scholar’s views on Abe’s interpretation, arguing that Dynamic Sunyata is quite different from traditional Chinese Buddhist thought. Finally, by a comparative study of his interpretation of Sunyata and process thought, it finds out that Abe’s understanding of "Dynamic sunyata" is probably inspired by the religious dialogue, therefore Abe’s understanding of Buddhism is also transformed in a fundamental way by Christian thought.
