古希腊宇宙论中“神”的内涵的嬗变
|
Abstract:
古希腊时期的宇宙论经历了许多变化,从早期完全以神话的方式解释宇宙,到公元前六世纪左右开始的自然的解释方式,发展到原子论的宇宙体系时完全消除了“神”这一概念,以机械论的方式构建宇宙论。而爱利亚派和毕达哥拉斯派承袭了早期宗教的形而上学的宇宙论,最后在柏拉图和亚里士多德的理论中,走向了目的论的宇宙论。在宇宙论的发展中,“神”或显或隐,始终保有一定地位,但其内涵却在不断地发生变化。本文通过对古希腊文献的考察,说明“神”的内涵变化的过程,以及在各个哲学家体系中的结果。
The cosmology of ancient Greece underwent many changes, from an early mythological interpretation of the universe to a naturalistic approach that emerged around the sixth century BC, and finally to an atomistic cosmology that completely eliminated the concept of “God” and constructed the universe in a mechanistic way. The Eleatic and Pythagorean schools inherited the metaphysical cosmology of early religion, and ultimately, in the theories of Plato and Aristotle, moved towards a teleological cosmology. Throughout the development of cosmology, the concept of “God” held a certain position, but its connotations were constantly changing. This paper examines ancient Greek texts to illustrate the process of the evolution of the concept of “God” and its results in various philosophical systems.
