存在之“无”与缘起性空——海德格尔思想与佛教的“共鸣”

“Nothingness”of Being and Emptiness of Dependent Origination: On the Resonance Between Heidegger's Thoughts and Buddhism

在海德格尔的"无"与佛教的"空"之间有很多可以讨论的问题,而且具有现实意义。与轴心时代其他文明纷纷以某种永恒的终极实在为理念来抵御虚无主义的方式不同,佛教倡导"缘起性空",两千多年后的海德格尔则试图扭转西方哲学物化的科学思维方式,为克服虚无主义而寻求关于"无"的思想。由此,海德格尔哲学与佛教思想之间便发生了某种"共鸣"。

There are many problems worthy of discussion between Heidegger s “Nothingness” and Buddhist s “Emptiness”,the later of which also has real significance. As we know, the way of which Buddhism resisted Nihilism was to advocate “Emptiness of Dependent Origination”.And the Buddhist s solution was different from those of other civilizations in the Axis Era, which mostly appealed to some kind of eternally ultimate entity. Heidegger, after two thousand years, explored the thought of “Nothingness” in order to reverse the reified scientific ways of thinking in western philosophy and overcome Nihilism. Therefore, some “resonance” can be found between Heidegger s philosophy and Buddhism thoughts.
