發展一個郎尼根「真我體認」基督真理的基本「歷程形上框架」

眾所周知，當代是充滿著「後現代」的「懷疑論」、「主觀主義」、「相對主義」、「多元主義」、「不穩定意識」、「只有詮釋，沒有真理」、「明天一切都會改變」的一個「世代」。儘管如此，基於郎尼根以「真我」作「自我體認」的「認知理論」，本文所發展出的一個基本的「歷程形上框架」，可以幫助一般基督信徒在這「後基督宗教時代」，有效地「真我體認」基督宗教的「不變真理」。這個基本的「歷程形上框架」是以三個「形上系統」構成：（一）基督宗教從永遠到永遠以「天主聖三」為中心，攸關「一切存有者」的「救恩歷程」；（二）在這「救恩歷程」中攸關所有所謂「真我」及「假我」的「存有者」的「形上系統」；（三）在這「救恩歷程」中攸關這些所有不同的「真我」及「假我」的「自我體認」的「形上系統」。因此，這篇論文的特色是將這三個「形上系統」與郎尼根的「認知方法」彼此連接、貫通、整合，作為一個能幫基督徒在辨別「基督宗教真理」上，作「真我體認」的「歷程形上框架」。

As we know, the present age is permeated with post-modern skepticism, subjectivism, relativism, pluralism, fragility of consciousness, thinking that there is only interpretation without truth, and everything will change tomorrow. Nevertheless, based on the concept of self-appropriation according to Bernard Lonergan's cognitional theory, the present paper attempts to develop a process-metaphysics framework which can help Christians in general to effectively self-appropriate non-changing Christian truths. This basic process-metaphysics structure is built upon three fundamental metaphysical systems: (1) the Christian salvation process of all created beings which as a metaphysical system is centered on the Holy Trinity; (2) a metaphysical system which concerns all the true selves and false selves in salvation history; and (3) a metaphysical system which concerns the self-appropriations of all these true selves and false selves in salvation history. Hence, the uniqueness of this article is the association, connection and integration of these three metaphysical systems with salvation history in terms of Lonergan's cognitional theory which, as a process-metaphysics framework, can help Christians to discern Christian truths in the present postmodern age.
