Abstract

I review the dispute between Ribeiro (2011) and Brown (2021) over whether the radical transformation which a human self would need to undergo in order to be heaven-admissible would be such that it leads to a loss of self. Ribeiro thinks it would; Brown thinks it wouldn’t. My primary intention here is to advance the debate by trying to better understand what’s in dispute between these disputants. From this better understanding of what’s in dispute, we can see what would be needed to substantively advance the debate, and one claim I defend here is that in order to substantively advance this debate, a disputant would need to have a compelling defense of his side’s view on (at least) one of the two main issues that my analysis herein identifies.

天仙与自我的可塑性
我回顾了里贝罗(Ribeiro,2011 年)和布朗(Brown,2021 年)之间的争论,他们争论的焦点是:人类的自我需要经历彻底的转变才能被天堂接纳,而这种转变是否会导致自我的丧失。里贝罗认为会,布朗则认为不会。我在这里的主要意图是通过试图更好地理解这些争论者之间的争议点来推动辩论。我在此提出的一个主张是,为了实质性地推进这场辩论,争论者需要就我的分析所指出的两个主要问题(至少)中的一个问题为己方的观点进行令人信服的辩护。
