| 抄録 | As is well-known, some Buddhologists have opposed Buddhism to what is called the postmodern turn, and others have compared the two favorably. This debate has figured less prominently in the more specialized field of Buddhist ethics, though the latter has been for some time one of the most active topics on the Buddhist publishing scene. The preponderance of authors in such noteworthy collections as Contemporary Buddhist Ethics (2000) and Action Dharma: New Studies in Engaged Buddhism (2003) discuss what can be called Buddhist versions of virtue-ethics, and even those who emphasize the Buddhist doctrine of dependent co-arising do so in an organic way that seems to displace rather than deconstruct foundationalism. The worthy exception seems to be the recent anthology Deconstruction and the Ethical in Asian Thought (2007), but it aims more for breadth and diversity than focus.
Now all of a sudden there comes along this singly authored new book by Jin Y. Park entitled Buddhism and Postmodernity: Zen, Huayan, and the Possibility of Postmodern Ethics. All the while comparing French postmodernism in a sort of double counterpoint, she—boldly, innovatively—seeks to develop the radical implications of a Zen/Huayan dependent co-arising for a global ethic. Arguing from Buddhist causality's inexhaustibility (comparable to Derrida's à venir and Lyotard's incommensurabilité), Park brings the full impact of Buddhist openness to bear, so that, in her scenario, finality is abrogated and compassion privileged. Indeed, if she mistakes western philosophical history sometimes, it is from the credulity that often accompanies the bravura of the postmodern brave—it is from her willingness to affirm, too hastily, all of Heidegger's charges, and after him, all of the French postmodernist charges, leveled against western metaphysics. In fact, sometimes these indictments over-generalize and are uncritical; moreover, they bracket-out, with a kind of obstinate calculation, the ongoing philosophic … |
