《圣经·旧约》中的二项对立原则

Binary Opposition in The Old Testament

二项对立是结构主义分析中最为重要的关系和基本方法,是对任一系统中一对差异项的确定,以及在此确定之中对某种价值的分析。确定了差异的两项概念之后,在互相对比的关系中每一个概念就更容易理解了。在《圣经.旧约》中存在着大量二项对立的概念和原则,这些概念相互依存、相互联系,影响着人类的意识世界。同时,它们在客观上帮助体现出上帝在《圣经.旧约》中的地位和权威。

Binary Opposition is one of the most important concepts and methods of analysis in Structuralism. It means that the forming of a pair of opposite concepts helps to decide a certain value, and through comparison, makes them easy to understand. There are many concepts of binary opposition in The Old Testament which are closely related to each other and affect greatly the human mind. Meanwhile, they help to reveal the holy position and authority of the God in The Old Testament.
