| 摘要 | There is a tradition of interpreting Buddhism with the lenses of modern philosophies. In this process, Buddhism has been presented so diversely that sometimes their positioning are confusing and ambivalent- e.g. 'ethical idealism', 'atheism', 'empiricism', etc. This paper, as an attempt of resolving the contradictory positions, engages conceptual analysis of ontology and axiology and come to portray as 'ethical pragmatism'. The article at first describes the cardinal principles of pragmatism: multiple truths, verification of truths, changeability of truth; and then presents how these principles are embedded in the teaching of Buddha. It also claims that Buddha’s efforts on developing a new doctrine, constituting a Sangha, practicing sainthood, and defending against rival doctrines and organizations were just strategies of social reform via cultivating ethics rather than the objectives in themselves. As textual source, the original nikayas translated in English by PTS and the interfaces of the Eastern and Western scholars have been used as far as possible. |
