Abstract

the truth of these doctrines] we must avoid the pitfalls of both dogmatism and relativism … The truth of a doctrine does not depend solely upon its utility. Many propositions of Natural Law are progressive, though they may appear futile in certain historical sit-uations. Others may serve in one historical stage and may be worthless in another one. The truth of a doctrine will depend upon the extent to which it embodies concrete liberty and human dignity, upon its ability to provide for the fullest development of all human potentialities . (Neumann 1942, 72; my italics)

赋予天使法律的利益:弗朗茨·诺伊曼和恩斯特·布洛赫的自然法与人的尊严

这些学说的真理]我们必须避免教条主义和相对主义的陷阱……学说的真理不仅仅取决于它的效用。自然法的许多主张是进步的，尽管在某些历史情境中可能显得徒劳。其他人可能在一个历史阶段服役，在另一个历史舞台上可能毫无价值。一种学说的真实性将取决于它在多大程度上体现了具体的自由和人的尊严，取决于它提供人类所有潜力的最充分发展的能力。（诺依曼1942，72；我的斜体字）

期刊介绍： Critical Research on Religion is a peer-reviewed, international journal focusing on the development of a critical theoretical framework and its application to research on religion. It provides a common venue for those engaging in critical analysis in theology and religious studies, as well as for those who critically study religion in the other social sciences and humanities such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, and literature. A critical approach examines religious phenomena according to both their positive and negative impacts. It draws on methods including but not restricted to the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Marxism, post-structuralism, feminism, psychoanalysis, ideological criticism, post-colonialism, ecocriticism, and queer studies. The journal seeks to enhance an understanding of how religious institutions and religious thought may simultaneously serve as a source of domination and progressive social change. It attempts to understand the role of religion within social and political conflicts. These conflicts are often based on differences of race, class, ethnicity, region, gender, and sexual orientation – all of which are shaped by social, political, and economic inequity. The journal encourages submissions of theoretically guided articles on current issues as well as those with historical interest using a wide range of methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, and archival. It publishes articles, review essays, book reviews, thematic issues, symposia, and interviews.
