在同与异之间——宗教多元论的新进路

Between the Similarities and Differences:A New Approach for Religious Pluralism

现有的宗教多元论主要可以分为两大类,一类努力为诸宗教寻求统一性基础,另一类强调要保持诸宗教的差异性。前者使得宗教对话有了共同的基础,却被认为和排他论一样充满了沙文主义色彩;后者充分尊重了诸宗教之间的平等地位,却可能使得各方的对话缺乏动力。诸宗教之间的同与异在对话中必须同时都被考虑到,通过语境主义的观念,有望为各宗教提供一种兼具教外与教内的双重视野,使它们既能处于统一的对话平台之上,又能保持原有的差异和独特性。

There are two kinds of religious pluralism,one seeks the unity between religions,but the other one values the religious diversities.The former is good for building a foundation for religious dialogue,but it is considered as chauvinism.The latter respects each religion as equals,but it can make them lack motivation of dialogue.The similarities and differences of religions must both be considered in dialogue,and we will provide a dual vision of intra-religious and extrareligious positions by means of contextualism.From this all religions would on the same platform for dialogue,and also to maintain their differences and uniqueness.
