零与形而上学——从数学、佛学、道学到现象学的有无之思

借助于"零"的自然发展史,并以"零"作切入点,可以思考两种意义上的形而上学问题一种是基于感性、理性两分之基础上的认识论形而上学,它与作为数字间空位的零相关.另一种是基于本原、生衍两分之基础上的发生论形而上学,它与在正负数之间的零相关.就此而论,零代表了形而上学的领域我们可以无限靠近它,却永远无法达到.零是所有关系的聚合点,也是所有关系的发出点,但它本身却不具有任何可规定的内容.--这是零的本质,也是所有形而上学的本质.

Zero and Metaphysic-Thoughts about Being and Nothing from Mathematics,Buddhism, Daoism to Phenomenology

By means of the natural history of "zero", and with "zero" as a theme to broach, we can think metaphysical questions in double senses: The one kind is the epistemological metaphysics, based on the perceptual-rational-differentiate; it is related with the Zero as vacancy between numbers. Another kind is genetic metaphysics, based on the source-evolution-differentiate, it is related with the zero between negative and positive number. In this respect the zero represents a domain of metaphysic: We may infinitely approach it, but never achieve actually. The zero is polymerization-spot of all relations, also the starting-point of all relations, but it self does not have any determinable content. This is the essence of zero, also the essence of all metaphysic.
