Modern Reconstruction of Natural Theology from the Viewpoint of the Philosophical Semantics and the Philosophy of Action

尽管自然神学有着悠久的传统和复杂的概念，但它不仅被新教神学所忽视，甚至被一些现代天主教神学家所忽视。我们试图从历史的观点出发，参照当代逻辑分析、哲学语义学和行动哲学的成果，重构自然神学理论。这个项目可以由耶稣会传教士在索菲亚大学成立的年轻一代哲学研究小组来进行。这个项目将使人们对当代哲学有一个新的认识。本课题的研究内容包括：柏拉图末世论神话的辩证方法的逻辑分析；从亚历山大的菲罗到圣奥古斯丁的《创世纪》注释的教父传统；康德先验哲学中语言哲学缺失的意义；卢梭寻求宽恕的逻辑及其对原罪的良心；对德国唯心主义中启蒙运动与宗教心理关系的修正：现代认识论怀疑主义与宗教信仰冲突的一个方面；对时代现象学概念的历史考察；本杰明的历史哲学与美学思想。

Natural theology has ever been neglected not only by Protestant theology but also even some modern Catholic theologians, despite of its long traditon and conceptual sophistication. We have tried to reconstruct the theory of natural theology from the historical viewpoint and in references of the products of the contemporary logical analysis, philosophical semantics, and the philosophy of action. This project could be properly performed by the younger generation group of philosophical investigators at Sophia University founded by Jesuit Missionary. This project will cast a new light on the aspect of the contemporary philosophy.The main topics presented by the investigators of this project are the following : Logical Analysis of the dialectical method of Platonic eschatological myths : Patristic tradition of the exegesis of the Genesis from Philo of Alexandria to St. Augustin : The meaning of the absence of philosophy of language in Kant's transcendental philosophy : J.J.Rousseau's logic of seeking forgiveness and his conscience of the original sin : Revision of the relation between the Enlightenment and religious mentality in German Idealism : An aspect of the conflict between the modern epistemological scepticismand religious faith : Historical survey of the phenomenological concept of EPOCHE : W.Benjamin's idea of the philosophy of history and aesthetics.
