奥古斯丁三位一体论中的《圣经》诫命和德尔菲神谕

The Great Commandment and Delphic Oracle in Augustine’s De Trinitate

本文集中探讨了《圣经》诫命“要爱主你的神”和德尔菲神谕“认识你自己”在奥古斯丁构建三一论体系中的关键作用,《圣经》诫命“要爱主你的神”是从神圣三一到心灵三一以及从神圣三一到智慧三一过渡的枢纽,而德尔菲神谕“认识你自己”则是从心灵的第一个三一到第二个三一过渡的枢纽。同时,否定了无论是怀疑,还是自我认识,都无法论证心灵可以不依靠上帝的帮助而达到对上帝的认识。以《圣经》诫命和德尔菲神谕为中心,意在强调上帝的在先性以及上帝在奥古斯丁构建三一论体系的三大关键环节中的启示作用。

This article focuses on the key role that the Great Commandment in the Bible uThou shalt love the Lord thy God"and the Delphic Oracle“Know thyself"play in Augustine7 s De Trinitate.The former“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God"is the crucial point of the transition from divine trinity to minds trinity as well as the transition from the divine trinity to the trinity of wisdom.The latter“Know thyself"is the crucial point of the transition from the first trinity of mind to the second trinity of mind.Furthermore,neither doubting nor selfknowing could be a reasonable demonstration that mind can acquire the knowledge of God without God7s help.Regarding the Great Commandment and Delphic Oracle as core content,the article intends to emphasize the priority of God and divine-revelations significance for the three crucial points in Augustines De Trinitate.
