摘要《论语》的柏拉图部分(第45-章)对普鲁塔克的宇宙学原理理论进行了复杂的描述。在这篇论文中,我将补充传统的解释,并着手论证:俄西里斯是在实际(即,创造后)世界内运作的全部“积极的”和有序的力量;台风不是前宇宙的灵魂,而是在其中工作的消极和破坏性的力量;伊希斯不仅仅是物质或世界灵魂,而是世界灵魂,作为世界上对立力量的物质“战场”;普卢塔克的分析对象不是前宇宙世界,而是后创造阶段。最后,我将解释普卢塔克的叙述的逻辑,这符合他在本文中发展的文学体裁。
Abstract The Platonic section of the De Iside (chapters 45–64) offers a complex account of Plutarch’s theory of cosmological principles. In this paper I shall supplement conventional interpretations and set out to demonstrate that: Osiris is the whole of the “positive” and ordering powers operating within the actual (that is, post-creational) world; Typhon is not the pre-cosmic soul, but the negative and destructive powers at work within it; Isis is not mere matter or the world soul, but the world soul as the material “battlefield” for opposite powers in the world; the object of Plutarch’s analysis is not the pre-cosmic world, but the post-creational stage. Finally, I shall explain the logic of Plutarch’s account, which fits with the literary genre he develops in this text.
