伊斯兰教的身体观探微

Probe into Islamic View on “Body”

现代西方哲学思想当中,"身体"逐渐成为一个关键词,并对中世纪基督教神学贬损身体、崇尚精神的倾向提出批评。本文从《古兰经》与伊斯兰教义学理论出发,提出了伊斯兰教当中思考"人"的五个维度,以及其中作为显白维度的"身体"是如何被定义的,其与其他四个隐微维度的关系应如何理解。本文认为,与中世纪欧洲基督教的"灵肉二元论"相比,伊斯兰教的身体观是一种"灵肉统一论"的身体观。

The word ＂body＂ is graduating into a key word in modem western philosophy, which criticizes the Christian theological inclination of derogating body and admiring spirit in the Middle Ages. This article, on the basis of Qur＇ an and Islamic theology, proposes five dimensions to examine man in Islam; discusses how ＂body＂ , which is regarded as the explicit dimension, is defined and how the relationship between body and the other four dimensions can be understood. It holds that Islamic view on body is the unification of soul and flesh, compared with Christian dualism of that in the Middle Ages.
