“Apophatic Paths from Europe to Asia: A Personal Philosophical Journey,” Center for Zhouyi and Ancient Chinese Philosophy, Shandong University, China, October 20, 2015 Shandong University Seminar – Photos online English | 旧版回顾 您现在的位置: 首页-> 内容 澳门大学美籍教授William Franke访问山东大学易学研究中心 发布人：易学中心 发布时间： 2015-10-27 点击次数：1951 2015年10月20日下午，美国范德堡大学（Vanderbilt University）哲学与宗教学教授，澳门大学哲学与宗教学兼职教授William Franke在易学与中国古代哲学研究中心做了题为“Apophatic Paths from Europe to China：Regions without Borders”的讲座。讲座由易学与中国古代哲学研究中心张文智教授主持。 William Franke教授通过对“apophatic”的阐述向我们展示了他对于整个历史时代和地域哲学和文化的重新思考。 首先，William Franke教授认为“apophatic”这一哲学思考方式发源于古代西方文明，发端于柏拉图时期，经由中世纪和巴洛克式的神秘主义进一步发展，在现代与后现代的哲学、宗教、文学、艺术中得以延续。在他看来“apophatic”源于人们对文化差异的思考，由于地域与历史的差异，人们对文化的认识有着不同的思考，我们只有对文化进行重新审视有意识地将人类自身与自己的思考作对比，使我们固有的成型的文化和观念跨越来自于我们语言陌生感所带来的障碍，沿着这个“apophatic”支点，实现文化上的超越。 其次，William Franke教授指出，中国文化与西方文化有着根本性的差异，两种文化分别有着自身的话语体系与符号概念，通过文化对比有助于我们跨越各种界限，得到一个超越的，真正的绝对的结果。这样的对比让我们能够辨别每一种文化的地域无界线的具体可能性。 最后，William Franke教授提到，一旦我们认识到我们所有的概念意义上的文化相对性，跨文化本身就变成了一种启示，人不能一直将自己的思维禁锢在一种框架之中，那样会造成偏见，要学会进入另一种思考际域中，在一个共同的无差别的整体中来寻求文化的融合。 讲座过程中William Franke教授不断通过问答的交流方式与在座学生进行良好有效的沟通，使大家对于讲座内容有了更深层的领会，最终讲座在热烈的掌声中圆满结束。
