论贺麟的宗教观

贺麟的宗教观既不同于"五四"时期反宗教运动对宗教的态度,也不像其他新儒家人物那样主张以道德或哲学去取代宗教.他的宗教观所关注的不是对人格神的信仰,而是宗教精神特别是基督教精神的文化价值,目的在于会通中西文化,谋求"儒家思想的新开展".贺麟认为,基督教是西方文化之体,研究和借鉴西方文化必须以理性的态度转化和吸收基督教精神的精华,认识其与西方的科学、民主、工业化以及人的精神世界的关系,以便为中国的新文化建设提供资源和借鉴.

On He Lin's Religious View

He Lin's religious view was different from the attitude of anti - religion campaign during the May 4th Movement and the views of other thinkers of the neo - Confucian school who held that religion should be replaced by morals or philosophy. He focused on the religious spirit, especially the cultural value of Christian spirit instead of the faith of god. He Lin believed that Christianity was the main stream of Western culture. When studying and using Western culture as a reference, it is essential to transform and absorb the quintessence of Christian spirit with a rational attitude, and to know the relationship between Christian spirit and Western science, democracy, industrialization, people's spiritual world, in order to provide resources and references for new Chinese cultural construction.
