| 摘要 | Recently, there has been increased interest given to the deconstructive thoughts and their ethical possibilities. This research is based on two basic questions: how the deconstructive thoughts relate to ethics; and how Jacques Derrida's deconstruction contributes to ethics based on Christian faith. Both Derridean deconstruction and Nagarjuna's deconstructive emptiness are interpreted two different ways, presence and absence, which result in two different ethical stances, the ethic of presence and the ethic of absence. While Thomas J. J. Altizer's interpretation of deconstruction and Keiji Nishitani's and Masao Abe's understandings of emptiness represent presence, Mark C. Taylor's and Bimal Krishina Matilal's views on deconstruction and emptiness advocate absence. The ethic based on presence supports totality and unity, which can support violence against the other, as seen in the Kyoto School's response to World War II. In contrast, the ethic of absence provides an ethical concern for the other. However, it falls short of being an altruistic and sacrificial ethic for the other. Derrida's later concept of “gift” offers a foundation for a deconstructive Christian ethic of alterity. Compared to the deconstructive “gift,” the Buddhist ethics based upon Nagarjuna's emptiness cannot provide an ethic of “gift” because of the doctrines of anatta and karma. Consequently, Buddhism fails to provide an altruistic ethic of “gift.” Taylor tries to develop a/theological ethic of “gift.” However, disappointedly, his attempt results in an ethic of indifference and indifferent God. This study presents Jean-Luc Marion's and John D. Caputo's thoughts as those which successfully connect the deconstructive ethic of “gift” with Christian faith. According to their thoughts, a foundation for an altruistic ethic of “gift” can be found in Christian tradition, especially in Christology. Marion's deconstructive theology, which interprets God as agape rather than being, claims that the “gift” of agape is comprehended only through returning the agape of God. While Marion focuses on deconstructive theology, Caputo deals more with deconstructive and biblical ethics. This dissertation concludes that Caputo's deconstructive ethic successfully overcomes not only the indifference by Buddhist sunyata and Taylor's a/theology but also the totality of presence and the unbridled heteromorphic play of difference and absence. |
