自性与无自性之间——宗喀巴宗教哲学思想透视

Between Self-nature and None Self-nature: Perspective on Tsongkhapa’s Philosophical Thoughts

对"实体主义"的批判,显示出宗喀巴思想辩证理性的时代魅力。宗喀巴宗教哲学思想的症结在于,试图把自性和无自性截然区分并通过一定的价值赋予而使它们对立起来。事实上,从一个更宽阔的思想视域中观察,自性事物在生存的过程中有可能转化为非自性事物,非自性事物又将被塑造为自性事物,因此,事物存在性的这种辩证转换,只有透过具体的社会历史性的生存视域,才能获得充分理解。

The criticism of substantialism showed the charming of the dialectical rational thoughts of Tsongkhapa. But the crux of Tsongkhapa＇s religious philosophical thoughts was attempting to distinguish self-nature with non self-nature clearly and to make them opposing each other by giving them certain value. In fact, to observe from a broader sight, self-nature things may be transformed to non self- nature things in the process of existing while non self-nature things may be molded into self- nature things. Therefore, only through specific social historical sight can we obtain a full understanding on the dialectical transformation of the existence of things.
