生命教育與生命的誕生－艾克哈大師靈心神學的對話
Life Education and the Birth of Life-A Dialogue with Meister Eckhart's Theologia Cordis
摘要
筆者曾把生命教育了解作「感通」與「創生」的教育。「感通」與「創生」預設一種人學或靈學，至今，人學或靈學的論述仍然不足，人學或靈學與「感通」與「創生」之間的關係尚未討論。 本文寫作的目的與內容就是介紹基督宗教「靈心神學」(theologia cordis)，尤其是艾克哈大師（Meister Eckhart, 約1260-1327/8）論「聖子的誕生」(the birth of the Son)的道理，補充生命作為「感通」與「創生」的主題，建立生命教育的人學與宗教學的基礎。 此外，本文把艾克哈大師與本地文化作對比或對話，其中涉及東西方宗教「靈心之鏡」的比喻，突顯基督宗教傳統對開發本地生命教育的意義。

The author of this paper understands Life Education as an art of ”intercommunication” and ”perpetual creativity”. These characteristics presuppose some kind of anthropology and spirituality, which have not yet been sufficiently developed, and their relation with ”intercommunication” and ”perpetual creativity” has not been treated. This paper is a study of Theologia Cordis (theology of the heart), especially the idea of the ”birth of the Son” according to the theory of Meister Eckhart (1260-1327/8). Our study can be taken as an example to understand life as ”intercommunication” and ”perpetual creativity”. Hence it is helpful to set up the ground for the development of anthropology and spirituality for Life Education. Also, Meister Eckhart's metaphor of ”the mirror of the soul” for the purity of mind can be used in dialogue with Daoism and Zen Buddhism, to underline the significance of Christian tradition for the development of the theory of Life Education.
