ABSTRACT

In this essay, I examine Anselm’s ‘Prayers and Meditations’ as rhetorical prayers. I consider the basic structure of prayer as address to the Divine. For Anselm, this address is rhetorically structured towards persuading God to reveal himself by the three Aristotelian means of persuasion: character, affect, and argument. Compassion is the phenomenological showing of God as the transcending Good as summoned by the orator. In rhetorical prayer, we take up our existential situation as moved by God to move God. Compassion is the showing-up of God in prayer as revelation of self and Other.

神圣的修辞：安塞姆的祈祷和神圣同情的现象

摘要

在本文中，我将安瑟姆的“祈祷与沉思”作为修辞祈祷。我认为祈祷的基本结构是对神的回应。对于安瑟姆（Aselm）而言，此演讲的措辞结构旨在说服神通过亚里士多德的三种说服方式来揭示自己：性格，情感和论据。同情心是神的现象学表现，是演说家召唤的超越善物。在修辞祈祷中，我们接受了上帝为感动上帝而产生的生存状况。同情心是上帝在祷告中显现为自我和他人的启示。
