| Abstract | 本文探討的焦點是印度種姓制度下，「種姓差別」與「種姓平等」的兩種倫理觀點。探討的方式是歷史分析。全文以印度教的《摩奴法論》代表印度教「種姓差別」的種姓倫理觀，而以《阿含》、大乘及密教經典代表印度佛教三階段之「種姓平等」的種姓倫理觀。企圖較深入地探索印度種姓差別現象的思想根源及佛教對它所作的批評與反駁。筆者也希望藉此彰顯：在印度流傳約三千年，主張「人類生來就不平等」的種姓倫理，其實另有流傳約一千六百年，主張「人類生而平等」的佛教倫理觀在與它相抗衡。
近數十年來的學術界，論及印度種姓問題者頗不乏人。但是，將《摩奴法論》取與佛經對比，並進一步分析原始、大乘、及密教經典之種姓觀之著述，則尚未之見。本文之撰寫意義，即在於此。
This paper points out that there are two ethical views in terms of the Caste System in India, one is the view of the discrimination, and the other one is the view of the equanimity. Here, the method of historical analysis is applied here. First, the Manu SaMhitA is chosen as the representation for the traditional Indian view of the discrimination. Whereas the Buddhist texts, which three periods are divided, including the Agamas, the Mahayana scriptures, as well as the tantra treatises, signified the view of equanimity. A deeper investigation of the discrimination viewpoint in terms of its origination and the defending against the criticism from the Buddhism has been made. Although the discriminative Caste System has been survived more than three thousand years in India, one should be aware that there indeed is another confronting voice, stood for sixteen hundred years, which echoed ‘man is born to be equal’.
As we know, there are many researches on the issue of the Indian Caste System have been published in the last few decades. However, the comparison between the Manu SaMhitA and the Buddhist texts, such as the explanations from the Agamas, the Mahayana and tantra scriptures, has not yet been scrutinized. This is therefore the purport of the present work. |
