“解空第一”：僧肇《般若无知论》《涅槃无名论》的美学意蕴

“Hermeneutics of Sunya the First Chapter”: Aesthetic Meaning of Sengzhao’s No Knowledge of Prajna and No Name for Nirvana

《般若无知论》与《涅槃无名论》,同是僧肇佛学著述的"解空"之作。作为对应性研究,其各自所论的佛学境界不一:"般若无知",摒除显性概念、范畴、逻辑、推理与判断,以成般若中观,与瞬时发生的审美直觉相通;"涅槃无名",舍弃名言而臻成不可言说、不可思议之境,与绝对审美理想、审美妙悟相融。二者共同拓进了中华美学意蕴的境界。

No Knowledge of Prajna and No Name for Nirvana are the Buddhist works of Sengzhao in explaining sunya. The theories of Buddhist sphere adhered in these counterpart studies are different. "No knowledge of prajna" attains a mean way of view by dismissing obvious concept, category, logic, deduction and judgement,and relates itself to instant aesthetic instinct. "No name for nirvana" gives up names to attain unspeakable and unthinkable sphere, and merges into absolute aesthetic ideal and aesthetic comprehension. These two have a common way in improving the realm of Chinese aesthetic intention.
