劉小楓在《漢語神學與歷史哲學》這份漢語神學綱要性的檔案中,主張「漢語基督神學與中國傳統文化的關係根本上是一個現代性歷史哲學問題」, 並且提出,漢語基督神學的使命是要突破儒佛道對「漢語」的支配,「使漢語思想得以進入現代性歷史哲學問題的底層」。本文從伽達默爾和施特勞斯詮釋學的旨要與論爭開始,透過劉小楓的解釋學立場從伽達默爾的哲學詮釋學向施特勞斯的解釋學的改變,探尋他所謂的歷史哲學底層問題。本文的結論是,劉小楓的這個歷史哲學底層,乃是政治哲學。

 

ABSTRACT

In his work “Sino-Christian Theology and Philosophy of History” (1999), which was counted as a prolegomena document of Sino-Christian Theology, Liu Xiaofeng argued that “the relationship between Sino-Christian Theology and Chinese traditional culture is fundamentally a modern historical and philosophical issue”, and proposed that the mission of Sino-Christian Theology was to break through the domination of “Chinese” by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and “allow Chinese thought open to the underlying issues of modern philosophy of history.” This paper begins with the keypoints and debates of Gadamer and Leo Strauss on hermeneutics, and through the change of Liu Xiaofeng’s hermeneutic standpoint, his turn from Gadamer to Strauss, to explore his so-called bottom layer of philosophy of history. The conclusion of this paper is that the bottom layer of Liu Xiaofeng’s philosophy of history is political philosophy.
