绝对的三个概念

[编辑]
美索不达米亚楔形文字表意符号An或者Dingir、"Divine"。由中心放射如同喷泉般[注 2]

绝对的基本概念就是绝对现实的现实,其中有三个构思它的基本脉络(概念)。(1)最先和最伟大的存在(2)不是一个人,而是“存在的”(3)是存在和存在的基础。

在概念(1)中,绝对是最真实和可理解的现实。 它可以说和知道。 例如格奥尔格·威廉·弗里德里希·黑格尔的绝对精神[注 3]:最真实的现实。有说服力的、存在的透过理解包括人、国家和世界历史在内的一切,客观思考世界。[11]
在概念(2)中

the Absolute might be conceived of as utterly outside of all other reality and hence unintelligible. It cannot be known or spoken about. Plato's Socrates says that "The Form of the Good" is "beyond being",[12] implying that it is even beyond thought, language, and normal categories of existence. St. 十字若望 says:

He who truly arrives there

cuts free from himself;

all that he knew before

now seems worthless,

and his knowledge so soars

that he is left in unknowing

transcending all knowledge.[13]

In (3) the Absolute might be conceived of as transcending duality and distinction. This concept of a fundamental reality that transcends or includes all other reality is usually (but not always) associated with divinity. While this conception initially seems contradictory, it has been highly influential. One way to understand this third conception is to consider the Tao te Ching.

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao.

The name that can be named is not the eternal name.("老子 (书)," 1)

These opening lines distinguish between two Taos. One is the "eternal Tao" (which cannot be named or explained) and the other "Tao" seems to exist in space and time (and can be named and explained). The eternal Tao is beyond existence and cannot be named or fully understood, while the other Tao exists and can be known. The eternal Tao is infinite; the other is finite. The eternal Tao is formless; the other is formed. The eternal Tao is transcendent; the other is immanent. The other "Tao" is an attempt to describe the "eternal Tao" in human terms; but such effort can never express the eternal Tao fully. He continues:

The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth

The named is the mother of myriad things

Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its essence

Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations

These two emerge together but differ in name

The unity is said to be the mystery.

In these lines, he further discusses the difference between the two Taos. The eternal Tao is "nameless" and is the origin of Heaven and Earth; this "origin" can be understood as an underlying metaphysics that cannot be described fully. The "named" Tao, on the other hand, is able to describe specific phenomenons that exist in space and time, hence it is the mother of myriad of things; it also can be treated as the humanly conceived concepts in the effort to describe our physical world. Later, he points out that both the "named" and the "nameless" emerge together from the same eternal Tao. This seemingly self-contradictory unity, of course, is said to be the "mystery" to be understood.

比较神话学的绝对观念

[编辑]

绝对的三个概念中的一个或多个可以衍伸到其他宗教或哲学。以下是一些个领域关于绝对的概念表象:

绝对的解释

[编辑]

虽然这些绝对的概念上是相似的,但一些哲学家,特别是长青主义哲学家和泛神论哲学家广泛的认为绝对的解释在时间、空间、现代/过去、地点上都具有相似的重要意义,不只是单词上的解释,在文化上也具有“绝对”的相同含意。

然而,其他哲学家认为,这些概念是不一样的[14][15] ,例如逻各斯是理性和规律的,而婆罗门是无形的和非常理的;[[[柏拉图主义]]的四主德英语Form of Good是个人的理性观点;又或者布拉德利英语F._H._Bradley的绝对是一个有概念的经验,而布兰夏德英语Brand_Blanshard的绝对是一个无意识的而能理解的系统。 诸如约翰希克英语John_Hick这样的长青主义哲学家认为,即使这些概念略有不同,不同概念背后的绝对现实的现实是一样的。[16]

在宗教传统的绝对

[编辑]

Philosophers such as 阿迪·商羯罗 denied the Absolute any personal sense, whereas philosophers such as Ramanuja英语Ramanuja and Madhvacharya英语Madhvacharya, tended to identify the Absolute with a 自在. The Traditionalist School英语Traditionalist School, via Frithjof Schuon英语Frithjof Schuon, admits:

It is true that God as creator, revealer, and savior is not to be identified with the Absolute as such; it is likewise true that God in Himself, in the full depth of His reality, is not to be reduced to the creative Function.[17]

Early Hinduism identified with 梵天, 毗湿奴, and 湿婆. The same immortal spirit was conceived of as functional in the world in three ways: creation, preservation, and destruction.[18] There was therefore no real contradiction between Bhakti英语Bhakti and , although the latter was sometimes conceived of as "purer."[19]

湿婆教, and most 一神论 Indian religions gave God five functions: creation, preservation, destruction, concealment, and revelation. 湿婆, as , would therefore act in the world as a personal God. Yet this distinction between the Absolute and Infinite, or Transcendent and Immanent is not entirely, in itself, absolute. Philosophers like Shankara, believe that upon doing away with 摩耶 (印度哲学), the entire universe disappears, including the notion of a personal God. Philosophers such as Madhva and Ramanuja, tend to propound an identification of the Absolute with God, whereas later philosophers such as Nimbarka and 柴坦尼亚·摩诃巴布, tended to identify the Absolute with a personal form of God (黑天). Either way, all these claims, taken in context, tend to prove non-contradictory.

The quote above, via Schuon, is actually fully represented within the 印度教 tradition. 梵天, the creator god, is not worshiped within Hinduism. The only deities that are worshiped, are 湿婆, and 毗湿奴. Both Shiva and Vishnu, by their respective devotees, are represented as having power over the following five functions: creation, preservation, destruction, concealment, and revelation. However, a further distinction is made by Shankara: God is not (the Absolute). Rather the appearance of God is still via the power of 摩耶 (印度哲学). So there are in effect, three levels, which Schuon himself observes: Brahman (the Absolute), God as creator, revealer, and savior (AKA, Shiva or Vishnu), and finally God as creator (AKA, Brahma). Incidental reasons are given for Brahma's lack of worship, a Hindu myth attributes this situation to a curse by Bhrigu英语Bhrigu. Devdutt Pattanaik英语Devdutt Pattanaik, an Indian author, gives some philosophical reasons. Ultimately the reason is actually inherent ("inherent" in the Absolute) and theological.

人性关系的绝对

[编辑]

Laozi taught that the Tao was not only the ultimate reality but the ideal of human life. Another conceptual similarity between various conceptions is that the ultimate reality also somehow reveals to humans the way to live. For example, Plato taught that the Good was both the source of reality, the highest object of knowledge, and the ultimate end of desire.

Literature scholar C·S·路易斯 explains the connection between the highest reality and human action in this way:

In early Hinduism that conduct in men which can be called good consists in conformity to, or almost participation in, the Rta—that great ritual or pattern of nature and supernature which is revealed alike in the cosmic order, the moral virtues, and the ceremonial of the temple. Righteousness, correctness, order, the Rta, is constantly identified with satya or truth, correspondence to reality. As Plato said that the Good was 'beyond existence' and Wordsworth that through virtue the stars were strong, so the Indian masters say that the gods themselves are born of the Rta and obey it. The Chinese also speak of a great thing (the greatest thing) called the Tao. It is the reality beyond all predicates, the abyss that was before the Creator Himself. It is Nature, it is the Way, the Road. It is the Way in which the universe goes on, the Way in which things everlastingly emerge, stilly and tranquilly, into space and time. It is also the Way which every man should tread in imitation of that cosmic and supercosmic progression, conforming all activities to that great exemplar. 'In ritual', say the Analects, 'it is harmony with Nature that is prized.' The ancient Jews likewise praise the Law as being 'true'. This conception in all its forms, Platonic, Aristotelian, Stoic, Christian, and Oriental alike, I shall henceforth refer to for brevity simply as 'the Tao'.

Taimni says:

Because the Ultimate Reality which is denoted by the word 'Absolute' or 'Parabrahman' (卍) is the very core of our being as well as the cause and basis of the universe of which we are part, we can no more get away from it than our solar system can get away from the sun round which it resolves and from which it receives everything which keeps it alive and moving. Although the Absolute is sometimes referred to by such epithets as the Void, Ever-Darkness etc. and is beyond intellectual comprehension, still, from the intellectual point of view it is the most profound concept in the whole realm of philosophy. The fact that it is called 'Unknowable' does not mean that it is beyond the range of philosophical or religious thought and something on which thinking is impossible or undesirable. The very fact that it is the heart and the basis of the universe should make it the most intriguing object of enquiry within the realms of the intellect.
— I.K. Taimni, Man, God and the Universe, Chapter 1[20]

Aldous Huxley says:

"Only the transcendent, the completely other, can be immanent without being modified by the becoming of that in which it dwells. The Perennial Philosophy teaches that it is desirable and indeed necessary to know the spiritual Ground of things, not only within the soul, but also outside in the world and, beyond world and soul, in its transcendent otherness 'in heaven.' ... God within and God without; these are two abstract notions, which can be entertained by the understanding and expressed in words.

Similarly, the Hindu Taimni describes the Parabrahman英语Parabrahman as unknowable by the human mind and unthinkable but the highest object of realization and the most profound object of philosophical enquiry.[21]

Plotinus likewise taught that the goal of philosophy was to "contemplate the One".[22]

经历绝对

[编辑]

Philosophers and religious adherents who aim to pattern their life after the Absolute reality sometimes claim to have experienced the Absolute. They report mystical experience英语mystical experiences, feelings of oneness, transcendence of their everyday personality or of personhood altogether.

代表绝对

[编辑]
世界之树代表日耳曼宗教的绝对

绝对的概念定义为说不出的东西或是不可想像的。这个概念用言语,诗歌,神话和艺术 This concept creates special problems for expression in words, poetry, mythology, and art. Writers, 亚历斯·格列, storytellers, filmmakers[23] often use paradox or contradiction because of the "contradictory aspect of the ultimate reality".[24]

According to Mircea Eliade英语Mircea Eliade, the Absolute can be mediated or 启示 through 符号s.[25] For Eliade the "始基" mind is constantly aware of the presence of the Sacred, and for this mind all symbols are 宗教 (relinking to the Origin). Through symbols human beings can get an immediate "intuition" of certain features of the inexhaustible Sacred. The mind makes use of images to grasp the ultimate reality of things because reality manifests itself in contradictory ways and therefore can't be described in concepts. It is therefore the image as such, as a whole bundle of meaning, that is "true" (faithful, trustworthy).[25] Eliade says :[26]

...the sacred is equivalent to a power, and, in the last analysis, to reality. The sacred is saturated with being. Sacred power means reality, and at the same time enduringness and efficacy. The polarity sacred-profane is often expressed as opposition between real and unreal or pseudoreal. [...] Thus is easy to understand that religious man deeply desires to be, to participate in reality, to be saturated with Love.
