摘要

基督教(Christianity)哲學之所以能夠歷久彌新，在世界上歷時數十個世紀依然能夠存在盛行，對人類的思想產生重大影響的作用；究其緣由，不外乎基督教哲學的一項重要特色在於，它在本質上包涵著某種永恆的開放性，使其能夠不斷與其他異質的文化傳統發生對話與融合，進而豐富彼此的思想內涵。在西方，基督教哲學歷經數次的融合過程，包括教父哲學時期與希臘哲學的融合，士林哲學時期與阿拉伯回教文化的融合，以及十三、十四世紀之後與各民族文化的融合……等等。而在中國，比較有理論性、系統性的引入基督教思想並與中華文化產生對話、融合的，當屬明朝時期利瑪寶(Mateo Ricci 1553-1610)等耶穌會神父們的努力。當每一次融合作用的發生，不但會豐富基督教哲學自身的內涵，也會賦予其融合對象之思想體系新的內容，可說是彼此相得益彰。輔仁學派的產生與建立，即是在這樣的背景下，歷時數百年的發展以及近百年來理論系統的整合，逐漸開花結果。

Christianity, as a philosophy, has been everlasting, popular, and influential to human thinking for centuries exactly because of one of its important features: some kind of eternal openness as part of its essence. Such a feature has constantly enabled Christianity to have dialogue and fusion with alien cultural traditions, which in turns has enriched both traditions. Christianity as a philosophy has undergone several fusions in Western history, including: the fusions with Greek philosophy during the period of the patristic philosophy, with Arabic Islamic culture during the period of the Scholastic philosophy, and with the cultures of different nations after the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In China, the more theoretical and systematic introduction of Christianity and its dialogue and fusion with Chinese culture were the achievements of Mateo Ricci (1553-1610) and other Jesuits in the Ming Dynasty. Whenever there was fusion, it not only enriched Christianity itself but also brought something new to the philosophical system that it fuses with; then both cultures were improved. This is the background against which the Fu-jen School is generated and established. After centuries of development and the integration of the theoretical systems in the last century, the Fu-jen School gradually blooms.
