论柏拉图主义对基督教三元人论的影响

On The Influence of Platonism on Christian Tripartite Theory of Human

作为一种兼具哲学意涵和神学色彩的基督教人学理论,三元人论的思想来源在当代学术界是一个颇具争议性的话题。尽管柏拉图主义在整体上更倾向于以灵魂和肉体的二元对立为特征的人学理论,而非以灵、魂、体三分为特征的三元人论,并且大多数主张三元人论的基督教哲学家,也甚少提及自身理论同柏拉图主义之间的思想渊源,但在率先提出该理论的几位希腊教父对相关教义和圣经文本的阐释中,仍可窥见他们对柏拉图灵魂学说中某些因素的吸收和利用。

As a human theory with both philosophical meanings and theological colors,the ideological source of the tripartite theory is a controversial academic topic.Platonism,on the whole,is more inclined to the concept of human characterized by the binary opposition of soul and body,rather than that characterized by the tripartite division of spirit,soul and body,but in the interpretations of relevant doctrines and biblical texts by the Greek Fathers who first put forward this theory,we can still see their absorptions and utilizations of some factors in Plato’s theory of soul.
