有缘故的爱与无条件的爱——关于鲁迅与基督教文化资源关联的思考

Conditional Love and Unconditional Love:the Contrast between Lu Xunian Context and Christian Culture

无论从文化根源、历史演变还是社会现实的角度考察,鲁迅语境主要是人文的和俗世的,基督教文化语境是灵魂观照和信仰层面的。鲁迅语境中的爱是有是非、善恶、亲疏、远近、智愚、高下区分的;基督教文化语境中的爱是无缘故、无条件、无原则的。鲁迅语境的爱主要凸显爱者的自主性以及爱者与被爱者二者之间的关系,基督教文化语境中的爱强调的是超验的第三维度的律例、典章、诫命、法度和信念。基督教文化语境中“爱不值得爱的人”能给人更大的启发。

From the perspective of cultural origin, historical evolution and the society condition, Lu Xunian context is mainly humanistic and secular, while Christian context is spiritual and religious. The love in Lu Xunian context is to be delivered in terms of right and wrong, good and evil, close and distant, intelligent and unintelligent, and distinguished and obscure, while love in Christian context is delivered unconditionally. Love in Lu Xunian context is characterized by the giver＇s agency and the relationship between the receiver and the giver while Christian context emphasizes transcendental laws, institutions, imperatives, commandments and faith. ＂Love the unworthy＂ in the Christian context can bring us more inspiration.
