ABSTRACT Religion and aesthetics are demarcated as two different avenues with ‘God’ and ‘Beauty’ as their respective goals. Opposite of anesthetic, aesthetics is clearly the heightening of the senses. But religion with its focus on God dwelling in a world beyond ours mandates a negation of those very senses. Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, overturns such an antithesis. My paper focuses on Guru Nanak’s Japji, the foremost devotional hymn in the Guru Granth Sahib, to explore the way in which aesthetics and religion merge together in the unitary experience of a sensuous metaphysics.

纳纳克大师的感性形而上学

摘要宗教和美学被划分为两个不同的途径，分别以“上帝”和“美丽”为目标。与麻醉剂相反，美学显然是感官的增强。但是，宗教着重于居住在我们之外的世界中的上帝，因此对这些感官的否定。首位锡克教宗师纳纳克（Guru Nanak）推翻了这一对立面。我的论文集中于古纳·纳纳克（Guru Nanak）的《贾普（Japji）》，这是古纳·格兰思·萨希布（Gran Granth Sahib）中最重要的灵修赞美诗，探讨了审美与宗教在感性形而上学的统一经验中融合在一起的方式。
