ABSTRACT

This article offers a comparative reading of the ontologies of David Bentley Hart and Jean-Paul Sartre as well as their respective appeals to phenomenology as a philosophical method. While it may seem odd to compare one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated atheists with one of contemporary Christianity’s most highly-acclaimed critics of atheism, this article shows that there are many surprising parallels between the ontological outlooks of Hart and Sartre, namely their conceptions of God as the unity of being and consciousness and their accounts of human consciousness as a desire to ‘become God’. By examining the similarities and differences between Sartre’s and Hart’s philosophical and theological works, this article seeks to highlight the phenomenological aspects of Hart’s theological outlook and consider how Hart’s appeal to the phenomenological analysis of intentional consciousness in his theological work can illuminate our understanding of the ongoing engagements between theology and phenomenology.

摘要

本文提供了对戴维·本特利·哈特（David Bentley Hart）和让·保罗·萨特（Jean-Paul Sartre）本体论的比较阅读，以及它们各自作为一种哲学方法对现象学的诉求。将二十世纪最有名的无神论者之一与当代基督教最受赞誉的无神论批评者之一进行比较似乎有些奇怪，但本文显示，哈特和萨特的本体论观点之间有许多令人惊讶的相似之处，即他们对哈特和萨特的看法。上帝作为存在与意识的统一，以及他们对人类意识作为“成为上帝”的渴望的叙述。通过研究萨特和哈特的哲学和神学著作之间的异同，
