Abstract

This paper discusses poetry as a site of what Pierre Hadot calls “spiritual exercises,” with particular reference to China's greatest poet, Du Fu (712–70 C.E.). While Hadot's work has bridged gaps between (i) philosophy and religion and (ii) theory and practice, this paper suggests that spiritual exercises can also blur the modern separation between form and content. It argues for the possibility of poetry as philosophy; that is, philosophy in a less-recognized form. If poetry can be spiritual exercise and if spiritual exercise with its goal of self-transformation is the core of philosophy, then we may be able to treat poetry as one form of philosophy. The paper also demonstrates the relevance of Hadot's work for ancient Chinese and comparative philosophy more broadly.

精神锻炼与诗歌:哈多与杜甫
本文讨论了诗歌作为皮埃尔·哈多所说的“精神锻炼”的场所,特别提到了中国最伟大的诗人杜甫(公元712-70年)。虽然Hadot的作品弥合了哲学与宗教之间的鸿沟,以及理论与实践之间的鸿沟,但本文认为精神练习也可以模糊形式与内容之间的现代分离。它论证了诗歌作为哲学的可能性;也就是说,哲学以一种不太为人所知的形式出现。如果诗歌可以是精神的锻炼,如果以自我转化为目标的精神锻炼是哲学的核心,那么我们可以把诗歌作为哲学的一种形式来对待。本文还从更广泛的意义上论证了哈多特的工作与中国古代哲学和比较哲学的相关性。
