ABSTRACT

When read alongside the great command of Deuteronomy, ‘love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and strength,’ the Judeo-Christian directive to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ is perhaps one of the most theologically and ethically charged phrases in the Bible. In these two mutually reliant commandments lies a meeting point between the divine and the human that has important implications for our understanding of the nexus between theological conceptions of love and philosophical engagement with worldly existence. This point of intersection is explored in a particularly unique way in the thinking of Michel Henry and Jean-Luc Nancy. In this article, I conduct the first sustained comparative analysis of their respective philosophies, using an exploration of the role of love and affectivity in their work to better understand the philosophical opportunity represented by the commandment to love God and neighbour.

摘要

当与申命记的伟大命令并存时，“尽心，尽性，尽力爱主你的上帝”，犹太基督教教义“爱你的邻居就像你自己”，也许是最具神学和伦理学意义的短语之一在圣经中。在这两个相互依存的诫命中，存在着神与人之间的交汇点，这对我们理解爱的神学概念与世俗生存的哲学交往之间的联系具有重要的意义。在Michel Henry和Jean-Luc Nancy的思想中，以特别独特的方式探索了这一交点。在本文中，我对各自的哲学进行了首次持续的比较分析，
