游叙弗伦“子告父罪”问题,是儒家伦理争鸣中的焦点之一,但它的一些基本方面尚未得到彻底澄清。这一问题本质上归摄于柏拉图对“虔敬”问题的整体思考,因此,我们必须将其置于柏拉图对希腊社会传统虔敬观的批判、继承和改造的大思路下加以把握。传统虔敬观是维系古代社会家庭和城邦的根基所在,对虔敬问题的探讨是关乎家庭和城邦生死存亡的重大问题。柏拉图在《游叙弗伦》中揭示了传统虔敬观的困境及其内在依据即诗人神学的局限性,但他绝非要简单地否定或颠覆传统虔敬观,而是为了解决其困境。他为一种理想的虔敬观找到了一个更加稳靠的基石,亦即将虔敬之内涵由外在的诸神崇拜转向内在的灵魂美德,由此更好地实现个体和城邦的正义。这一大思路决定了柏拉图笔下的苏格拉底对游叙弗伦“子告父罪”的行为应当持否定的态度。这一问题的澄清,或将有助于儒家伦理讨论及中西古典哲学比较研究的有效展开和深化。
The crux of the issue of Syracuse ’s “Son of Father and Father ” is one of the focuses of the ethics debate in Confucianism, but some of its basic aspects have not yet been fully elucidated. This issue is essentially pictured in Plato’s overall consideration of the question of “godliness,” and therefore we must place it under the broad mind of Plato for the critique, inheritance and transformation of the traditional godly view of Greek society. The traditional devotion view is the foundation of maintaining the family and the city-state in ancient society. The discussion on devoutness is a major issue concerning the life and death of family and city-state. Plato, in his tour of Syracuse, revealed the predicament of traditional devotion and its intrinsic basis, namely, the limitations of poet theology. However, he must not simply negate or subvert the traditional devotion, but to solve its predicament. He has found a more stable cornerstone for an ideal devotion, that is, the conversion of godly worship from outer worship of gods to inner spiritual virtues, thereby better realizing the individual and the city-state justice. This big idea determines that Plato’s criticism of Socrates should be negative on the Syracuse Faren The clarification of this issue will help to discuss Confucian ethics and effectively expand and deepen the comparative study of Chinese and Western classical philosophy.
