Abstract

ABSTRACT Raimon Panikkar was a Spanish theologian with Indian roots whose reflections on monasticism were at once creative and inspiring. He aimed to renew the monastic tradition not in the sense of restoration but rather aggiornamento, namely, bringing it up to date. His scholarly considerations were matched with a personal tendency toward solitude, although seen as a complement to rather than a priority in an integrated life. This article is primarily a study of Panikkar’s engagement with monasticism as a positive resource for spirituality but also as an avoidance of accountability. While reviewing both Panikkar’s intellectual constructions and personal aspirations, reframed within the concept of ‘cosmic monasticism,’ I identify their main characters and limits. Among the former, I consider the assumption that the human spirit is naturally oriented toward grace; regarding the latter, I mention the omissions of the role of grace and of rules in spiritual development associated with ‘new monasticism’.

潘尼卡的宇宙修道:我们这个时代的精神资源?

雷蒙·帕尼克是一位有着印度血统的西班牙神学家，他对修道主义的思考既富有创造性又发人深省。他的目标是更新修道院的传统，而不是在修复的意义上，而是aggiorannento，也就是说，使它跟上时代。他的学术考虑与个人倾向于孤独相匹配，尽管被视为对综合生活的补充而不是优先考虑。本文主要研究Panikkar将修道作为一种积极的灵性资源，同时也作为一种逃避责任的方式。在回顾Panikkar的知识结构和个人抱负时，我在“宇宙修道主义”的概念中重新定义，确定了它们的主要特征和局限性。在前者中，我考虑的假设是，人类的精神是自然地朝向优雅;关于后者，我提到了“新修道主义”在精神发展中忽略了恩典和规则的作用。

期刊介绍： Journal for the Study of Spirituality is a peer-reviewed journal which creates a unique interdisciplinary, inter-professional and cross-cultural forum where researchers, scholars and others engaged in the study and practices of spirituality can share and debate the research, knowledge, wisdom and insight associated with spirituality and contemporary spirituality studies. The British Association for the Study of Spirituality (BASS) organises a biennial international conference and welcomes enquiries about membership from those interested in the study of spirituality in the UK and worldwide. The journal is concerned with what spirituality means, and how it is expressed, in individuals’ lives and communities and in professional practice settings; and with the impact and implications of spirituality in, and on, social policy, organizational practices and personal and professional development. The journal recognises that spirituality and spiritual values can be expressed and studied in secular contexts, including in scientific and professional practice settings, as well as within faith and wisdom traditions. Thus, Journal for the Study of Spirituality particularly welcomes contributions that: identify new agendas for research into spirituality within and across subject disciplines and professions; explore different epistemological and methodological approaches to the study of spirituality; introduce comparative perspectives and insights drawn from different cultures and/or professional practice settings; aim to apply and develop sustained reflection, investigation and critique in relation to spirituality and spiritual practices; critically examine the values and presuppositions underpinning different forms of spirituality and spiritual practices; incorporate different forms of writing and expressions of spirituality.
