摘要

人間與世間都是佛教高度重視的概念。般若經典雖然記載著佛教有關人間與世間非常寶貴的教導，歷來卻相當被忽略。本文以般若經典為主要的依據，運用哲學的方法，著眼於空間視域，不僅反思人間與世間這二個概念的建構，而且鋪陳經典就人間與世間之實相所闡明的義理。透過本文的研究，將有助於佛學與哲學的跨領域看待，進而可提供當代佛學界在人間與世間論述的一項不容忽視的準據。

Both the concepts of human realm and the world play an important role in the Buddhist teachings. Although the Prajñāpāramitā-sūtras contain valuable teachings about human realm and the world, these teachings have long been neglected by most scholars of Buddhist studies. Mainly based on the Prajñāpāramitā-sūtras , this paper critically reflects on current approaches to conceptualizing human realm and the world. Moreover, in terms of space horizon, this paper explores the ways in which the reality of both human realm and the world is demonstrated in the Prajñāpāramitā-sūtras. The purpose of this philosophical inquiry is to promote the multidisciplinary venture between philosophy and the academic study of Buddhism, and therefore to provide a better framework for approaching human realm and the world.
