Abstract

Abstract. I raise the issue over why human beings should be concerned with God even if He created the world and even if He is responsible for Morality. I describe God’s apparent irrelevance to human beings. In response, I consider and reject a Neo-Aristotelian solution. Instead I propose a Neoplatonist approach, which is cautiously endorsed. The nature of participation is briefly discussed. As an illustration, I consider free will from a Neoplatonist point of view. Jewish and Christian approaches to perfection are then contrasted. I conclude with the advantages of Neoplatonism over Neo-Aristotelianism.

新柏拉图主义神学与上帝的相关性
摘要我提出了一个问题,为什么人类应该关心上帝,即使他创造了世界,即使他对道德负责。我描述了上帝显然与人类无关。作为回应,我考虑并拒绝了新亚里士多德的解决方案。相反,我提出了一种新柏拉图主义的方法,这种方法得到了谨慎的认可。简要讨论了参与的性质。作为例证,我从新柏拉图主义的角度考虑自由意志。犹太人和基督徒追求完美的方法进行了对比。最后,我总结了新柏拉图主义相对于新亚里士多德主义的优势。
