希腊哲学是基督教思想的奠基者

如果没有希腊文化,基督教的产生是不可想像的。基督教思想的产生得益于希腊哲学,基督教思想的系统化,同样是希腊哲学征服基督教世界的结果。因此,我们可以说,基督教思想是穿着宗教外衣的希腊哲学。不过,希腊哲学究竟在哪些方面为基督教做出了贡献,似乎西方哲学并没有明确的定论,本文从四个方面阐述希腊文明与基督教的关系。第一,智者关于好公民的讨论和毕达哥拉斯、苏格拉底、柏拉图对于好人的讨论成为基督教定位人的信仰的重要参数。第二,善的理念为基督教的上帝论提供了道德的形而上学蓝本。第三,毕达哥拉斯和新毕达哥拉斯派以及柏拉图的灵魂不灭与轮回思想,为基督教爱的理论和末世学奠定了理论基础。第四,斯多亚学派的世界主义为上帝面前人人平等拓清了道路。通过对这四个方面的阐述,作者力求表明,希腊哲学是基督教思想的奠基者。

Greek Philosophy as the Founder of the Christian Thought

If there were no Greek culture, the emergence of the Christian religion could not be imagined. The formation of the Christian thought benefits from Greek philosophy. Systematization of the thought is the result of Greek philosophy's conquering of Christendom as well. Therefore, we can say that the thought of the Christian religion as Greek philosophy with religious overcoat. However, as to in which respects Greece philosophy makes a contribution to the Christian religion, it seems that western philosophy does not have a definite conclusion yet. This article explains the relationship of the Greek civilization and the Christian religion from four aspects. First, the discussions of wisdoms on good citizen and those of Pythagoras, Socrates and Plato on good man become the important parameter for Christianity's belief in positioning a man. Second, the good theory offers the ethical metaphysics original version for theory of God of the Christian religion. Third, Pythagoras, neo-Pythagoras as well as Plato's theory of unfinishable soul and samsara establishes the theoretical foundation for Christian theory of love and doomsday. And fourth, the cosmopolitanism of Stoa clear road for the belief in equality of everyone in front of the God. Through the exposition of these four aspects, the author makes every effort to indicate that Greek philosophy is the founder of the thought of the Christian religion.
