论本体论的禅学终结

人类最先看到的是物质性或经验性本体，然后上升为精神性和先验性的本体认识。但西方哲学意义上的“本体”理解面临着理性基础无法证明的困境，不得不向东方哲学的本体论方式趋近，在中国哲学这里，无论是“仁”本还是“道”本，都见证于人的生存直觉，它们的神圣性在于它们的现实性和日常性。生存论意义上的本体不是逻辑认知的对象，不能从具体生存中分离出来，它是人的日常过程和人的生命敞开、呈现状态。尤其在禅宗这里，本体论的理论和实践达到了最高峰，扫荡一切本质主义的本体论而全面赴人日常生活，肯定平常生活即是存在的“如是”本体．

The End of Ontology from the Perspective of Zen Buddhism

Humans initially got to know the material or experiential noumena and later developed the ontological knowledge with spiritual and transcendental nature. However, the idea of ontology in the sense of Western philosophy has been in a difficult situation in which its rational foundation can not be testified so that it has to turn to the ontological approach of the Eastern philosophy. In Chinese philosophy, either ＂Benevolence＂ orientation or ＂Tao＂ orientation is testified by the human intuition of existence, and their sanctity lies in their realistic and daily nature. The noumenon in the sense of existential theory is the daily process of humans and the state of life rather than the target of logic cognition so that it can not be separated from the specific form of existence. In the field Zen Bud- dhism, the ontological theories and practices have reached the peak, focusing completely on daily life while rejecting the entire ontology of essentialism, and establishing daily life as the noumenon of existence ＂as it is＂.
