论僧肇哲学的批判性、超越性与启示性

On Criticism, Transcendence and Revelation of Seng Zhao’s Philosophy

僧肇是一位杰出的佛学思想家。他在批判格义佛教的基础上,融会大乘中观佛学和老庄思想来建构自己的哲学体系。因此,他对"空"的理解达到前所未有的理论高度。这不仅仅超越了魏晋玄学和格义佛教的理解,而且也对隋唐重玄学尤其成玄英重玄学的建构具有启示意义。僧肇哲学所具有的批判性、超越性与启示性,在中国哲学发展过程中具有承先启后的作用。

Seng Zhao is a prominent Buddhist thinker. On the basis of his criticism of Geyi Buddhism, he combined Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism to construct his own philosophical system. Therefore, he reached an unprec- edented level of theory to understand the ＂emptiness＂. This not only goes beyond the understanding of the meta- physics in Wei and Jin Dynasties, but is also beneficial to the construction of metaphysics in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially Cheng Xuanying＇s metaphysics. This shows that Seng Zhao＇s philosophy has criticism, transcendence and enlightenment, and also reveals that his philosophy plays a role in the process of development of Chinese philosophy.
