论蒂里希关于“爱”的伦理思想

保罗·蒂里希是当代著名哲学家,他提出的"终极关怀"思想是当今人文科学界十分关注的一个重要课题.本文认为,蒂里希从本体论方面论述了伦理学,其伦理学的中心范畴是"爱"的思想.他把伦理学中"爱"的思想与历史上的情感主义、道德主义区分开来.蒂里希伦理学思想的主要特点是:存在论的伦理学、人格主义的伦理学和原则主义的伦理学.蒂里希分析论述了爱的四个性质:"eros" 表示人类隐秘的本能爱欲;"philia" 指的是友谊之爱,即人们对于相似的和美好的人和事物的喜爱;"epithymia"指的是生命的自我实现的爱,它与"eros"既有同一的方面,也有不同的即超越本能的方面;"agape"指的是神圣的爱,是上帝对一切人的无条件的爱和利他主义的爱.

On Tillich's Ethical Thought

A world-renowned philosopher in the twentieth century, Paul Tillich puts forward the concept of "ultimate concern", one of the most important in contemporary humanities. This paper argues that Tillich probes into ethics from the ontological perspective, the essence of which is "love"; he distinguishes the ethical "love" from the affectionism and moralism in history. His ethical thoughts are mainly those of ontology, personalism and principles. He further analyzes the four aspects of love, namely, "eros" (the innate human love and desire), "philia" (the friendship love), "epithymia" (the love for self-actualization) and "agape" (the holy love, i.e., the God's universal and altruistic love for human being).
