台灣原住民族哲學的合理重構及其現實意涵──以霍斯陸曼•伐伐《玉山魂》為例

The Rational Reconstruction of Taiwanese Indigenous Philosophy and Its Practical Implications: A Case Study of Husluman Vava’s The Soul of Jade Mountain

因著建構台灣哲學主體性以及族群與大社會於某些法政權利議題上進行深度對話之需求，台灣原住民族哲學近年開始受到關注，但相對於北美對原住民族哲學的研究已略有進展，台灣相應研究仍屬於起步摸索階段。本文參考北美原住民族重構其哲學思想的經驗，並以當代布農族文學家霍斯陸曼．伐伐《玉山魂》一書為示範文本，試圖展示台灣原住民族哲學重構工程的可能方向及其對現實世界族群權利議題的可能意涵。有關北美經驗的參考，主要會處理包括資料文本梳理及分析詮釋在內等研究方法後設問題，以及北美原住民族哲學思想主要內涵的呈現模式。參考北美經驗，本文將進一步說明，以伐伐的作品做為台灣原住民族哲學研究起步之素材其意義何在，以及若試圖從其作品重構族群哲學，在分析詮釋工作上又有哪些可能得先反思的問題。接著，本文將從《玉山魂》一書所描繪的部落生活及文化圖像為核心，重構其中蘊涵的族群哲學思想。在此重構過程中，將會以組成世界的存有者的性質及其互動過程中所透顯出的世界觀、人觀以及價值觀，呈現台灣原住民族哲學的可能面貌，及其對當前族群權利議題的可能意涵。

In recent years, Taiwanese indigenous philosophy has attracted attention because of the need to establish a distinct Taiwanese philosophical identity and to foster meaningful dialogue between ethnic groups and the broader society on various legal and political rights issues. However, compared to the more developed studies of indigenous philosophy in North America, corresponding research in Taiwan is still in its exploratory phase. This article draws on the experience of North American indigenous peoples in reconstructing their philosophical thought and uses the contemporary Bunun writer Husluman Vava’s book The Soul of Jade Mountain as a case study to explore potential directions for reconstructing Taiwanese indigenous philosophy and its possible implications for real-world ethnic rights issues. The reference to North American experiences primarily addresses meta-issues in research methodologies—including the organization, analysis, and interpretation of textual data—and the modes of presenting the main contents of North American indigenous philosophical thought. Building on these experiences, this article will further discuss the significance of using Vava’s work as foundational material for Taiwanese indigenous philosophy research. It will also highlight potential challenges in analysis and interpretation that must be considered when attempting to reconstruct ethnic philosophy from his writings. Next, the article will reconstruct the ethnic philosophical ideas inherent in the depiction of tribal life and cultural imagery in The Soul of Jade Mountain. Through this reconstruction process, the article will illustrate a potential form of Taiwanese indigenous philosophy and its possible implications for current ethnic rights issues by examining the nature of the beings that constitute the world, and with the worldviews, perceptions of humanity, and values that emerge from their interactions.
