摘要:威尔弗雷德.坎特韦尔.史密斯(Wilfred Cantwell Smith)在其名著《宗教的意义与终结》一书中认为应该放弃一般意义上或个体意义上的宗教概念,而代之于“累积的传统”和“个人的信仰”,以便更好地理解信仰生活。笔者认为史密斯对宗教概念的语用及其局限性的揭示是有启发意义的,对累积的传统和个人的信仰的陈述可以帮助我们以“专业的眼光”、“陌生的眼光”和“远方的眼光”等多角度观察习以为常的概念。但是概念演化史中的多与一、信仰与历史和现代的关系及其复杂性并不能成为完全颠覆宗教概念的充分理由,一种恰当的修补术可能是更好的选择。

关键词: 宗教, 累积的传统, 信仰

Abstract:  Wilfred Cantwell Smith has pointed out in The Meaning and End of Religion that religious concepts with general meaning or individual meaning should be abandoned,in order to understand religious life better,the abandoned concepts should be substituted by “accumulated tradition”and “personal belief”.The pragmatic and limitations of religious concepts put forward by Smith is suggestive,the representation of accumulated tradition and personal belief can help us to review some ordinary concepts from perspectives of “professional’s eye”,“stranger’s eye”and “vision of distance”.The many and one in concepts evolution process,the relation between religion and history and modernity and their complexity are insufficient to completely overthrow religious concepts.A kind of proper amendment and supplement are a better choice.

Key words: religion, accumulated tradition, belief
