《肇论》佛教哲理研究

佛教般若学与魏晋玄学具有许多相通之处,初入中土的佛教以此为契机而得以迅速传播。富于思辨的般若学在与玄学的不断交融中逐渐异化为玄学化的般若学。享有“解空第一”之美誉的僧肇大师致力于将般若学从玄学中解救出来的同时,从本体论、认识论、解脱论等哲学高度,为中国佛教建构了一套独具特色的圆融体系。这一理论体系的形成,标志着外来佛学从傍依玄学而一跃成为发展玄学、甚至终结了玄学;佛教也因此走上了真正中国化的独立发展道路,并开始反哺中国文化,推动了整个中国哲学向更加纵深的方向发展。

Philosophical Study on SENG Chao''''s Buddhism

Buddhism spread quickly when it was first introduced to China because of its similarity with dark learning. During the long course of Prajna blending with metaphysics, Prajna with the characteristic of philosophical dialects, gradually developed into Prajna of metaphysics. SENG Chao, a famous Buddhist, who was "Shouldering Tathagata's saddhamma", and honored as the master of "emptiness", tried to revert Prajna to its former state from metaphysics, and in the meanwhile he established a philosophical theory system from the view of ontology, epistemology and vimukti. The formation of this theory system symbolized that exotic Buddhism began to amend and even form the ultimate Chinese metaphysics instead of clinging to it. Buddhism began to step onto its own way to independence in China and greatly promoted Chinese culture as well as Chinese philosophy.
