摘要

本文是以唐君毅先生在其《生命存在與心靈境界》之第七境〈歸向一神境〉中所透顯出其對基督宗教的理解為出發點，來探討儒家與基督宗教間之對話的可能性。在簡要論述唐先生的基本論點後，筆者從「苦難」與「超越」此二向度著眼，選擇以實踐為優先的對話方式，試圖在指出儒基雙方的基本差異及可能的互補空間後，由此彰示出在面對當代價值的虛無主義之衝擊下所導致的價值中立及意義失落時，儒學與基督宗教此東西二大傳統也許可以經由非判教式的對話，彼此擷取有利資源，共同為處在意義失落危機下的當代人重拾對超越的祈嚮，及滿足其意義尋索的需求。

This article would like to proceed from chapter seven of Tang Jun-yi's Existence and State of Mind, ”The Return to the Holy”. This in hopes to bring to light his understanding of Christianity, and use it as a springboard to discuss a possible dialogue between Confucianism and Christianity. After briefly discussing Mr. Tang's basic arguments, the author would like to employ the notions of ”Suffering” and ”Transcedence” as a starting point for a praxis-oriented dialogue. Then it is possible to see more clearly the differences and similarites between the two. In a world where values are in crisis, and face the attacks of nihilisic thinking, the result is a sense of loss. A non-judgemental approach to dialogue between these two traditions, each choosing the best of what the other has to offer, they can then provide an answer to modern man plunged in the crisis of a meaningless existence, by a prayer to the transcendence.
