形式指引的基督教神学底色

The Christian Backdrop of Formal Indication

一、引言专门研究海德格尔早期思想的基西尔(Theodore Kisiel)早曾说过,形式指引(formalen Anziege)是早期海德格尔的中心与灵魂之所在。(1)早于1920年代初,海德格尔自己就对此重要观念明确指出:'形式指引'的问题属于现象学方法本身的'理论';在宽泛意义上,它属于有关理论性、理论行为、分解(Unterschieidens)现象的问题。

Formal indication is regarded as the core concept of Heidegger’s early thought,which is mentioned systematically for the first time in his posthumous work Phenomenology of Religious Life.This article looks into Heidegger’s own account of this work in his course'Introduction to the Phenomenology of Religion'(1920-21)of this work and explores how he constructed his'methodology'of phenomenology.We find that the central idea was illustrated by Heidegger’s interpretation of Pauline epistles and that many of the important notions were carried forward to his renowned work Being and Time.Moreover,the initiative for this academic direction can be traced back to Heidegger’s Habilitationsschrift on Duns Scotus(1916-19),which is deeply intertwined with Heidegger’s early interest in medieval Christian thought.This religious backdrop provided an impetus to the development of his thought and the'method'of formal indication can even be detected in'Phenomenology and Theology,'which appeared right after Being and Time was published.Seen against these,it is reasonable to conclude that the thought of this influential thinker has often been found to have an ambiguous relationship to Christian theology.
