为什么信仰需要过程哲学

Why Faith Needs Process Philosophy

哲学与神学在基督教思想中历来关系密切。解决今日信仰危机的可能途径不是巴特对哲学的拒绝,也非回归传统哲学,而是诉诸怀特海的过程哲学。首先,信仰需要哲学,这是解决信仰危机的第一步。其次,现代哲学对宇宙作还原论的解释,这是造成信仰危机的主要原因。因此,过程哲学必须以某种形式恢复上帝在宇宙论中的地位。

Philosophy and theology have always gone hand in hand in Christian thought. The possible access to solving today＇s Crisis of Faith in God is neither Karl Barth＇s rejection to philosophies, nor returning to the traditional philosophy, but appealing to Whitehead＇s Process Philosophy. The first step to solve the Cri- sis of Faith is to keep theology＇s need of philosophy in mind. Secondly, God＇s status in cosmology has to be regained by process philosophy in some way given that the modern philosophy explains the universe reductionistically. This reductionism is actually the main reason for the Crisis of Faith.
