摘要
佛教的创立意味着印度自公元前7世纪以来纷乱的思想混乱状态的结束。佛陀否定了婆罗门教的祭祀万能等巫术观念,并批判了体现在形形色色的“沙门”思潮中的虚无主义,从而确立了道德因果律与自由意志在佛教理论体系中的地位,为当时的印度社会提供了一种新的信仰一价值系统。正是在这个意义上,我们可以把佛教的兴起看作是伦理革命。本文论述了古婆罗门教与道德律的缺失和沙门思潮中的虚无主义,并对佛教教义作了伦理学分析。
The very genesis of Buddhism ended the chaos of ideological situations in India since 6-7century B. C. By denying magical thoughts of Brahmanism such as the omnipotence of sacrificial rites, etc. , and by criticizing nihilism of every hue preached by ideological tides of Brahmins schools, Buddha established his Law of Causality in morality based on the two principles of free will and equality between 4 castes, with which a new ideology had been developed for Indian society. The author argues that the genesis of Buddhism is not only a religion revolution, but a revolution in social ethics. This paper consists of three parts: 1. the ancient Brahmanism and the absence of the Law of causality in morality; 2. the nihilism in Brahmans schools; 3. an ethical analysis of some Buddhist doctrines.
