人生与世界的两重性——布伯《我与你》一书的启发

The Duality of Life and the World: An Elicitation from Buber's I and Thou

奥地利宗教家、哲学家布伯在《我与你》一书中认为人生与世界具有两重性 :一是“为我们所用的世界” ,一是“我们与之相遇的世界” ,可以用“我—它”公式称谓前者 ,用“我—你”公式称谓后者。布伯的思想蕴涵着很深刻的意义 ,即以万物为认识对象和征服对象的活动不是人类生活的全部 ,人生的最高意义不在于人己分立、物我隔离的“主客关系”式 ,而在于对民胞物与、万物一体关系的领悟。布伯的见解对于片面地陶醉于主体认识客体和征服客体的我国思想文化界来说 。

In his book I and Thou, Buber, Austrian religionist and philosopher, deems the duality of life and the world: One is the world we use; the other, we meet. He names the former with the formula I It; the latter, I Thou. Bubers thought is of profound significance, that is, the whole meaning of human life does not indicate merely the activities of knowing and conquering the world of object, nor does it refer to subject object formula of separating I and Other, subjective body and objective world, but exists in the apperception that the people are my brethren, and the creation is part of me, and that of the relation that all things on earth are mutually connected. Bubers view is of realistic significance of enlightening the benighted to people of ideological and cultural circles in our country who unilaterally revel in subjects knowing and conquering object.
