摘要
世界上的真理并不多。我们所关注和我们所能论说的一切,其实都是以既有的文化积累为前提,都是古老真理的延续或者前人思想的引申。世人探寻真理的途径却很多。因此才有各自独立、而又彼此相关的信仰和文化,才有不同信仰与文化之间的交流或碰撞,才有精神信念的分享和文化创造的更新。在近代以来的西方,基督教的信仰与文化已经成为一种基本的范型。其科学、人文以及社会体制的各个方面,无不浸透着基督教的内在精神。
There are not many truths in the world.All that we concern ourselves with,study and expound on has its premises in our cultural heritage.They are elaborations of time-tested truths and the wisdom of our forebears.The paths of the human quest for truth,however,are many,giving birth to numerous independent and yet interrelated religions and cultures.As different religions and cultures engage in dialogue,the sharing of spiritual thought and beliefs can renew cultural creativity.
