摘要
波爱修的“存在”(Esse)概念,既是对柏拉图和亚里士多德哲学思想的融会,更是对《出埃及记》中上帝之言的倾听。对于波爱修,哲学不是他的目的,而是他的道路,是通向上帝的道路。存在(Esse)的真正含义,乃是使万物从“无”到“有”。“存在”是世界的第一规定性,也是最高规定性。存在是超验的,但这种超验不是外在的,不是与世界分离的,而是世界本身的存在,是世界的生命本身,存在即生命,这层含义充分体现在id quod est这个概念中,我们不应该把它一般地理解为“存在者”,而是应该理解为“这一个存在”,就像海德格尔的“此在”所指示的那样。
Boethius' conception of Esse is not only an understanding of Plato and Aristotle but also the obedience to God's words in Exodus (3: 14). To Boethius, philosophy is not an aim but a way to the Holy Being. The significance of Esse lies in that all is from non-being to being. Esse is the prime prescript of the world. Esse is transcendent. It is not beyond the world but the Being or Life of the world itself. Put it another way, Esse is Life, and this is manifest in the notion of ' id quod est' . It is important for us not to interpret ' id quod est' as ' Being' but as ' this Being' similar to Heidegger's Da-sein.
