這篇論文在已挑選出來的(早期的)基督教作者中,以柏拉圖的與神相似和對神的摹仿這兩個概念檢驗柏拉圖的接受。以亞歷山大學派的克雷蒙及歐利根為主,重點是放在一直到古典晚期那些接受異教徒哲學具根本重要性的基督宗教作者。在這種貢獻的脈絡中,原始的哲學觀念在成功的與完美的生活的基督徒的概念裡的適應機制與劃分將被檢視。在其他方面,將探詢以下的問題:柏拉圖的與神相似的概念以及對神的摹仿的概念如何與一個完美生活的《聖經》的榜樣相關呢?哲學家如何被用來設定基督教信仰裡的位置呢?以及最後,在哲學的影響之下在基督教的學說中新的強調是否能被覺察到呢?本文舉列說明基督教對柏拉圖的接受,並分析他們融入的過程以及指出他們對基督教倫理學的意義的許多側面。
The article examines the reception of Plato in selected (early) Christian authors on the basis of two Platonic conceptions (ὁμοίωσις θεῷ and μίμησις θεοῦ). With Clement and Origen of Alexandria, the focus is on central christian authors who are of fundamental importance for the reception of pagan philosophy until late antiquity. In the context of this contribution, mechanisms of adaptation and demarcation of originally philosophical ideas in Christian conceptions of a successful and perfect life will be examined. Among others, the following questions will be pursued: How do the Platonic ὁμοίωσις θεῷ- and μίμησις θεοῦ- conceptions relate to biblical models of a perfect life? How are philosophies used to formulate Christian positions of faith? And finally: Can new accentuations in Christian doctrine be observed under philosophical influence? The article exemplifies principles of a Christian reception of Plato, analyzes procedures of their integration, and points out aspects of their significance for Christian ethics.
