雅典与耶路撒冷——舍斯托夫对西方哲学的批判思想

在群星璀璨的俄罗斯白银时代,著名宗教哲学家舍斯托夫素以对西方理性的深刻批判和彻底否定精神著称。他不仅继承了索洛维约夫对西方自古希腊以来的理性文化传统的批判思想,通过"在人类灵魂中漫游"发出警醒世人的"旷野呼告"。还把这一思想发展到极致:认为要彻底摆脱抽象理性对思维的桎梏,克服思辨哲学对生命的冷漠就必须以"敢想敢为"的创造精神真正的回到《圣经》,满怀信仰,走向上帝即以信仰取代理性、启示取代思辨、耶路撒冷取代雅典。

论舍斯托夫对笛卡尔哲学的批判

笛卡尔被广泛认为是近代理性主义的创始人,他提出,对一切都应采取怀疑态度,唯有"我存在"不可怀疑,并在此基础上确立了他的"我思故我在"的第一原理。而舍斯托夫则站在信仰的立场上,对笛卡尔的这一理论出发点及主要命题做了重新的审查,进而批判地指出,西方理性主义哲学不能给人的生存提供可靠根基,不能解决人的生存痛苦,而真正给予人终极安慰的是圣经哲学。

被束缚了的哈姆雷特——《哈姆雷特》与《圣经》的互文解读

《圣经》文本明确表明了不可杀人的哲学观:本文通过对《哈姆雷特》与《圣经》的互文解读,以揭示哈姆雷特的人生困惑与徘徊。从《圣经》关于不可杀人的哲学观之新角度重新审视哈姆雷特所面临的困境,反拨传统的王子性格懦弱踌躇之说,建立哈姆雷特熟悉上帝法则的新形象,揭示他害怕的不是替父报仇的杀人行动,而是行为之后的报应、所要面临的审判及死后的梦境,最后得出哈姆雷特是善良勇敢、敢于面对邪恶的英雄这一结论。

The Nature, Philosophy, and Sustaining Factors of the Theology of Wealth in Africa： Theological Reflections

This paper is a theological reflection on the theology of wealth in Africa--its nature, philosophy, and sustaining factors. Through the methodology of theological reflections, the paper finds out that the theology of wealth, though difficult to describe, is sustained on the African continent by economic hardship, the influence of some preachers of the theology of wealth, and the availability of improved facilities for disseminating the content of the theology of wealth. It also finds out that the entire philosophy of the theology of wealth is biblically, theologically, and ethically deficient. Biblically, it adapts parts of scripture to suit its teachings. Theologically, it puts forth viewpoints that are foreign to theological thought. Ethically, it is a means of exploiting congregants. The paper concludes with a recommendation that the content and nature of the theology of wealth must be highlighted and thoroughly explained to both clergy and membership of different denominations so that all will be safeguarded against the impact of this false gospel on their lives.
