“无”和“空”既表现为一种思维范式,又实现为一种终极存在,它们分别表征了现代西方非理性哲学和东方禅宗智慧的基本形象。本文从“思维范式”和“终极存在”两个象限分别论证了“无”和“空”在本质维度上的不可通约性,并且指出,“无”和“空”的根本差别因缘于各自深刻悠长的文化传承和个性不同的价值关怀。 Both “nothingness” and “emptiness” are not only manifested as a kind of thinking paradigm, but also as a kind of ultimate existence, which respectively represent the basic image of modern western irrational philosophy and oriental zen wisdom. This paper demonstrates the incommensurability of “nothingness” and “emptiness” in essential dimensions from the two paradigms of “paradigm of thought” and “ultimate existence”, and points out that the fundamental difference between “nothingness” and “emptiness” is due to their respective Long and profound cultural heritage and individual values ​​of different care.
