摘要

「沉思」或「沉思哲學」的敘事文文類，或笛卡爾的《沉思集》作為「沉思哲學」的敘事文之一例文本，殆以敘述「我」之「是」之歷程為其主軸，期間「我」、「是」與「『我』之『是』」，為「亟待確定之事物」，並履經時序、重覆敘述而關係為符號複雜體。如此之複雜體，時或召喚其關乎宗教活動之「前－敘述」《「人物」或「是者」，以為其構句－敘述之幫助者或輔助語詞，並完成其沉思符號或關係之結構，以此而安置「我」、「是」與「『我』之『是』」之為「亟待確定之事物」。於此，「沉思」或「沉思哲學」的敘事文文類或笛卡爾的《沉思集》敘事文的結構分析，當有可作為。

The genre of ”meditation” philosophy or narrative, so as is of Descartes' Meditations, brings on ”the being of the 'I',” centered on such issues as ”I,” ”being,” and ”the 'I's' being,” which are altogether thought to be ”something to be ascertained.” Repetition comes up whereupon of the ”'I'-narrator” through its ”to-be-ascertained” signs in the 'I'-narrator's everyday life and sets the text out for relating a complex of signs in which the ”I”-narrator is everywhere to call for a pre-narratorial icon-character or ”being” as a/the Supreme Helper to advance the syntactical-religious practices in the narration per se. So structured, as is of Descartes' Meditations, the narrative is hence one of the ”'I'-religion,” in which the ”I-narrator” is prepared throughout for all life-long meditations upon the called-for icon-character, L'Etre, the God. Herewith a structural analysis of such a narrative works to re-present the religious-metaphysical practices of ”meditation,” its form and content and its genre.
