摘要

肖勒姆的語言哲學立足猶太喀巴拉神祕主義語言論的語境，彰顯出厚重的語言神學風貌。猶太教喀巴拉影響並形塑了猶太思想內部發展的深度和廣度，展現出猶太傳統長期隱而不顯的、被邊緣化的神祕主義語言論。在肖勒姆看來，創世經由語言顯現出的力量，其根源在於以象徵為仲介形式的神性名稱，這種鐫刻在象徵中的上帝之名進而凸顯了猶太喀巴拉語言論的辯證品格。在喀巴拉的視域中，猶太神祕主義語言論的辯證品格使語言在挪用與否定、延續與斷裂的兩極之間游離，形成一種人言無法勾勒、但又必須勾勒的上帝之名的整體性。在猶太喀巴拉語言論的框架內，肖勒姆的語言神學建構出來的具有辯證品格的精神世界是對外在現實世界的辯證回應，內中充斥著顯性的批判維度。

Scholem's linguistic philosophy is based on the context of mystical linguistic theory of Jewish Kabbalah, revealing its explicit dimension of linguistic theology. Jewish Kabbalah exerts its impact on and thus forms the depth and width of inner development of Judaism. It demonstrates the implicit and marginalized mystical linguistic theory in the long-standing Jewish tradition. Scholem asserts that in language, creation reveals its power which is rooted in the divine names mediated by symbolism. The name of God embedded in such symbolism highlights the dialectical trait in linguistic theory of Jewish Kabbalah. In this Kabbalistic perspective, the dialectical trait of Jewish mystical linguistics oscillates between appropriacy and negation, continuity and discontinuity, forming the name of God in its totality, which needs to be outlined by human language and yet beyond its capacity. As a dialectical response to the exterior real world, in the framework of Kabbalistic language theory, the dialectically spiritual world constructed by Scholem's linguistic theory of Kabbalah is brimmed with conspicuously critical dimension within.
