從「假名施設」與「名言熏習」試論佛教文化哲學－－以勞思光教授的部份觀點為討論起點=Cultural Philosophy of Buddhism Based on Prajñapti and Abhilāpavāsanā: Professor Lao Sze-kwang's Views as a Starting Point of Discussion
In general opinion, there is an inclination to negate the culture or the world in Buddhism. Even though Madhyamīka announces all of the beings are nothing but “prajñapti”(nameing), entity of being is just a fantasy; vijñanavada use the theory of “abhilāpavāsanā” of Alayavijñana(force of naming will be accumulated unceasingly in the Alayavijñana) to replenish it; but both keep the spirit of Mahāyāna that nirvana is not an ending but a process for practice; thus it is necessary to reconsider the general opinion. In my opinion, the Buddhist cultural philosophy can afford some special ideas to contribute the modern cultural philosophy, especially on Buddhism does not suspect the world or culture as real, that is why Buddhism is suspect as negative. Professor Lao Sez-kwang has shown several models of western cultural philosophy in his Lecture of Cultural Philosophy, but does not discuss about the Buddhism’s, he also claims the Buddhism has negative spirit to culture and world in his work. Although, I do not approve his judgment about Buddhism entirely, but I must admit his analysis about Buddhism is very deep, and his discussion of cultural philosophy is full of enlightenment for me. So this paper uses some ideas of professor Lao to discuss Buddhist ideas, and tries to show the peculiar view points of Buddhist cultural philosophy.
