| 摘要: | 本論文將以柏拉圖的生平及著作為開端，初步了解該古代哲人所生存的當時之時空環境，亦對於《饗宴》在其作品流中的定位進行整合性的理解工作。進入第二章，將深入「宴飲文化」等生活背景來探索，藉由密集的文獻考察，包含了文化史、古典文學、古希臘語文等相關文件確實熟悉，並對該作品歷代以來的研究史(以中英文譯本群為對象)予以清楚的陳述，同第一章「對柏拉圖及其作品的前理解」與次章「研究柏拉圖《饗宴》的前理解」兩大部分有親身實證的認識。以此為基礎，第三章將根究《饗宴》言說的內容與結構，透過黑格爾的「辯證概念」會同「古希臘文文本」進行論證七人之邏格思—以核心主題「愛若斯」(Ἔρως)作為串聯—彼次之間隱藏的連結脈絡，在蘇格拉底身上體現出柏拉圖愛的本體論之「實踐」意涵，為柏拉圖《饗宴》的當代研究，提供一紙可參考的索引。
Unlike the native graduate students, or even most of the local professionals do, principally relying on either the secondhand intermediaries or the third-hand versions (including English and any other European ones), here a thorough breakthrough is rendered in this research. By translating directly from the ancient Greek text(s) of Plato, namely his Συμπόσιον, together with the time-consuming process, of which painstakingly archeology-like investigation participates inside the publications concerning scholia, Hellenic language, cultural history, classics, philosophical journals, referential encyclopaedias, and so forth, we are able to decipher explicitly what on earth the very philosopher means, or may we put it as 'harbors' under his brilliant contrivance, within such a perfectly organized chef d'œuvre bringing the significance into light before the readers' eyes. That is, through scrutinizing the interweaving context of each logos out of the seven main characters together with an absent prophetess, plus the double narrator behind the storyline, not only do we solve the, notwithstanding popular, literally problematic comment from the renowned mythologist, Edith Hamilton, but also advance the Horizont where we step closer into the creator's sight, authentically and dependably, according to the academic requirements and purposes. In addition, the notion of Hegel's Dialectic as well as that of Gadamer's Hermeneutics is partly resorted to as the guideline amid interpreting the dialogue. |
