神话、宗教与人的境遇——伊利亚德哲学人类学思想探微

Myth,Religion and Human Circumstances:Philosophical Anthropology Study on Eliade’s Thoughts

伊利亚德认为,文明始于人类存在之定位及其存在模式的选择。神话是远古初民认识世界与自我、构建独特存在模式、开放自我存在之产物,具有超乎世俗历史的神圣性和真实性。神话既是形而上学的发端,也是人类宗教经验的起点,这尤体现于世界各民族有关“起源”与“堕落”的神话想象和叙述中。对伊利亚德哲学人类学思想的发掘,不仅能使我们更深入地理解伊利亚德的神话理论和宗教思想,亦有助于我们对神话、哲学与宗教的联系做出新的审视。

Eliade believes that civilization begins with the orientation of human existence and the choice of its mode of existence.Myth is the product of ancient people their understanding of the world and self,building a unique mode of existence,and thus opening up self existence.It has the sacredness and authenticity beyond the secular history.Myth is not only the beginning of metaphysics,but also the starting point of human religious experience.This is especially reflected in the mythological imagination and narration of“origin”and“depravity”of all people in the world.The exploration of Eliade’s philosophical anthropology can not only help us deeply understand his mythological theory and religious thought,but also help us make a new examination of the relationship between mythology,philosophy and religion.
