宗教諸次級向度之為神聖精神界與俗世物質界之媒（中）介底初探：一種體系性宗教詮釋學的嘗試

The Subdimensions of Religion as Medium between the Sacred Spiritual World and the Secular Material World: A Probe into the Systemic Hermeneutics of Religion

相對於傳統的宗教哲學及現代宗教研究企圖給予宗教本身定義，至今卻毫無共識，本文則嘗試對宗教之諸基本特徵與範疇之為宗教諸次級向度進行初步探討及梳理，以繞道呈現宗教為何。此嘗試則先從宗教哲學及宗教學研究之類型學亦即八種基本類型經由詮釋學轉向整合而至宗教詮釋學，然後再從這些經詮釋學轉向的宗教哲學類型出發，揭示出宗教之諸基本特徵與範疇，而這些亦為宗教哲學諸類型及其詮釋學轉向所揭橥的宗教次級向度:教義義理與宗教觀（事理）次級向度，歷史文化與宗教脈絡次級向度，情感經驗與宗教心理次級向度，價值規範與宗教倫理次級向度，社群組織與宗教社會次級向度以及從藝術至經典之宗教次級語言向度。

In contrast to the traditional philosophy of religion and modern religious studies, which have attempted to define religion itself but have arrived at no consensus, this article undertakes a preliminary exploration and organization of the fundamental characteristics and the subdimensions of religion, thereby taking a detour to present the intrinsicality of religion. This essay begins with the investigation of typology—the eight basic types of philosophy of religion and religious studies that are integrated and transformed into the hermeneutics of religion through a hermeneutic turn—and subsequently explicates the fundamental characteristics and categories of religion through such typological and hermeneutic approach. In addition, this essay contends that the following subdimensions of religion are unveiled by the typological approach and the hermeneutic turn: doctrine, teachings, and the subdimension of religious view; history, culture, and the subdimension of religious contexts; sentience, experience, and the subdimension of religious psychology; value, norm, and the subdimension of religious ethics; community, organization, and the subdimension of religious sociology; art, the classics, and the subdimension of religious language.
