Abstract

The question of verity in our day’s discourses within society, culture and religion challenges philosophy in the face of fake news, manipulations and the virtual. This paper addresses, via an exploration of the later philosophy of F.W.J. Schelling and the Gospel of Mark, whether the illusionary of history ought to be recognised as a form of truth. In his “Positive Philosophy”, Schelling claims that history is characterised by a loss of meaning that cannot be compensated for by philosophy, morality and sciences, and which is caused by a thinking-mode of “presentness”, that knows no true past and future. As a contrast, he proposes the “illusion” of eschatological-utopian thinking, as paradigmatically laid down in the biblical idea of kenosis. The Gospel of Mark also refers to the traumatic character of history, and in its final chapter imparts the notion of a possible counter-history.

幻觉的自证性
面对假新闻、操纵和虚拟世界,我们当今社会、文化和宗教话语中的真实性问题对哲学提出了挑战。本文通过对谢林(F.W.J. Schelling)的后期哲学和《马可福音》(Gospel of Mark)的探索,探讨历史的幻觉是否应该被视为真理的一种形式。在他的《实证哲学》中,谢林声称,历史的特点是失去了意义,这是哲学、道德和科学无法弥补的,这是由一种不知道真正的过去和未来的“现在”思维模式造成的。作为对比,他提出了末世论乌托邦思想的“幻觉”,就像圣经中kenosis概念的范例一样。马可福音也提到了历史的创伤性,并在最后一章提出了可能的反历史的概念。
