摘要

门德尔松关于不完美的著作可能会使我们重新思考康德传统的真理概念;他提供了另一种思考真理的方式，如果被压抑的话——一种以不完美为导向的方式，而不是以外观结构为导向的方式。将门德尔松理解为一位研究不完美的哲学家，应该会影响我们如何解读现代犹太哲学中的“真理”一词:如果不完美是人类生活的基本要素，那么我们就不必为了找到真理而抛弃或消灭它;这不是障碍。相反，如果我们像门德尔松一样，假设我们是不完整和妥协的，那么任何与真理的关系都不应该寻求克服不完美和妥协，而应该继续前进。

Judaism and Temporary Community: Moses Mendelssohn on imperfection and truth

Moses Mendelssohn’s work on imperfection might cause us to rethink the concepts of truth which follow from the Kantian tradition; he offers an alternative, if repressed, way of thinking about truth—one oriented by imperfection, rather than the structure of appearance. Understanding Mendelssohn as a philosopher of imperfection should affect how we read the word ‘truth’ in Modern Jewish philosophy: if imperfection is a fundamental ingredient of human life, then it is not something we must do away with, or annihilate, in order to find truth; it is not an obstacle. Rather—if we, like Mendelssohn, assume that we are incomplete and compromised—any relationship to truth must not seek to overcome imperfection and compromise, but proceed through them.

期刊介绍： Literature and Theology, a quarterly peer-review journal, provides a critical non-confessional forum for both textual analysis and theoretical speculation, encouraging explorations of how religion is embedded in culture. Contributions should address questions pertinent to both literary study and theology broadly understood, and be consistent with the Journal"s overall aim: to engage with and reshape traditional discourses within the studies of literature and religion, and their cognate fields - biblical criticism, literary criticism, philosophy, politics, culture studies, gender studies, artistic theory/practice, and contemporary critical theory/practice.
