士林哲學同基督宗教信仰之關係的再思考

在對中世紀士林哲學史的研究中，士林哲學同基督宗教信仰之間有無真正的內在聯繫是一個聚訟紛紜的焦點，而當代學者在這一問題上的分歧又主要源自對信仰在哲學中有無積極作用的不同看法。部分學者把信仰一概視為對理性的外在干擾或束縛，並因而否認士林哲學是一種同基督宗教信仰有內在聯繫的哲學；但在那些堅持把士林哲學定義為基督宗教哲學的學者看來，信仰作為理性的必要補充或基礎，則對哲學有積極促進作用。通過梳理爭論雙方的代表性觀點並反思其中存在的絕對主義傾向，我們試圖對士林哲學同基督宗教信仰的關係以及相關的「基督宗教哲學概念的合理性」問題做出更具體的分析。

In contemporary research on the history of Medieval scholasticism, the debate among researchers often focus on whether scholasticism has real inherent connection with Christian faith, and their disagreements on this issue mainly originate from their difference about the role of faith in Philosophy. Some scholars regard faith as an external interference or a restriction on reason, and thus think that scholasticism has no real inherent connection with Christian faith. But in the view of those who regard scholasticism as Christian Philosophy, faith is the necessary complement to and base of reason, and thus plays a positive role in promoting philosophy. By evaluating the main arguments of both sides and reflecting some absolute inclinations in them, we make a more concrete analysis of the relationship between scholasticism and Christian faith, and the related issue of ＂the conceptual legitimacy of Christian Philosophy＂.
