Abstract:

東方世界的宗教是索洛維約夫長期關注的問題之一，也是其定義俄羅斯民族性及宗教本質的重要參照。在索洛維約夫的論述中，中國的古代哲學、神秘主義信仰以及最關鍵的父權原則共同構成了中國人的信仰，同時這樣的信仰也阻礙了中國向絶對價值的邁進。索洛維約夫的整個哲學體繫是在斯拉夫派與西方派、東正教會與西方教會的衝突中形成的，其總體旨趣在於成就基督教的普世教會和人類的普遍救贖;中國觀作爲索洛維約夫道德哲學和神權政治學説中的有機組成部分，是我們了解基督教世界中國觀的必要環節。

Religions of the Eastern world constituted a sustained intellectual preoccupation for Solovyov and served as a critical frame of reference in his conceptualization of Russian national character and the nature of religion itself. In his discussions, ancient Chinese philosophy, mystical religions, and the crucial principle of patriarchy together constitute the religious beliefs of the Chinese people, while such a religion also hinders China's progress toward absolute values. His philosophical system was fundamentally shaped by the dialectical opposition between Slavic and Western traditions, as well as between Eastern Orthodox and Western Christian traditions, with the ultimate teleological aim of establishing a universal Christian church and achieving collective human salvation. His perspective on China is an organic component of his moral philosophy and his theocratic teachings, and thus an essential element for understanding the Christian world's perception of China.
