從神聖語言出發：呂格爾詮釋學之生成發展脈絡之為神話循環或迂迴

西方哲學、尤其是歐陸哲學已於20世紀後進入所謂詮釋學轉向，而這是否也能發生於宗教哲學？本文將於該詮釋學哲學轉向的脈絡下，探討其中最具基督宗教與神學性格的呂格爾之詮釋學要義，揭示其成為宗教哲學之詮釋學轉向的潛能。本文因此先精義地呈現呂氏從神聖語言之問題意識出發，亦即從宗教人類學關於人性意志之脆弱面向問題、從罪惡之象徵、尤其是原初神話出發而轉向詮釋學哲學之過程，亦即從宗教現象學轉向象徵詮釋學之義理脈絡，也由此揭示其從而走向文本詮釋學，隱喻詮釋學終至敘事詮釋學之系統性線索，而這又可以迴向到神話之敘事而成為神話循環之生化過程。最後在體系性詮釋學的後設理論架構下開放性地思索該呂氏詮釋學對於宗教哲學之詮釋學轉向所可能具有的啟發。

Western philosophy, especially the European continental philosophy, has entered into the so-called hermeneutic turn since the twentieth century, but has it also happened in the philosophy of religion? Under the context of this hermeneutic-philosophical turn, this essay attempts to explore the main thinking of Ricoeur's hermeneutics, which contains most of the Christian religious and theological character, in order to reveal its (Ricoeur's hermeneutics) potential for the hermeneutic turn in the philosophy of religion. Ricoeur's hermeneutics shall be presented in essential outline: Starting with the problem of the language of the Holy, which is disclosed from the religious-anthropological question of the fragile nature of human will, Ricoeur's thinking advances from the symbolism of evil, expressly from the primary myths, and turns to the hermeneutic philosophy, i.e., he progresses from phenomenology of religion to the hermeneutics of symbolism. From this, therefore, his development to the hermeneutics of text, and accordingly to the hermeneutics of metaphor, and eventually to the hermeneutics of narrative and thus the event of circle of myths, can also be systematically summarized. Finally, it will try to open possible inspiration from Ricoeur's hermeneutics for the hermeneutic turn of philosophy of religion under the framework of systemic hermeneutics as meta-theory.
