Abstract: As the combination of faith and Greek philosophy produced new results, the medieval Christian theology is not only the inheritance of ancient Greek philosophy, but also humanity itself Transcendence of the limited rationality, the human from the secular freed inside the barriers, all the material thoroughly Sheque fantasy, return your heart to know God is to know themselves, and to know God, to know the highest truth, the highest beauty, that is the most real you. It is based on this understanding, it was considered medieval Christian aesthetics is the first time increased to dim to the aesthetic status of human learning.
of Western civilization but not around as a foundational figure in the past, as Western civilization It is for Augustine the importance of thinking in Christian theology, from Augustine's Christian philosophy of departure to examine the intrinsic nature of aesthetic shift becomes crucial. Although the only one can be called Augustinian aesthetics of the early years is written in his This paper will be based on basic Christian theology of Augustine philosophy, combined with his This new perspective to re-interpret the above series of aesthetic issues raised.
Keywords: Trinity; Incarnation; justification by faith; Memory
First, the
Religious faith is the essence of life is accepted to be used by the existence of self-expression, our moral obligations and laws get from a strong religious awe, and God and the lofty idea of perfection has enabled us filled with admiration for the meaning of humility and gratitude emotions. And multi-monotheistic religions in order to natural objects or objects of worship clan ancestors, God must have a specific image and the name of ordinary language is different from the monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity evolved from the outset to set a unique absolute purely real and highly abstract God - God.
God, ah, you're high above but not illegal but a little esoteric but Kam Pro all, you no body sizes, filling you everywhere, but no one can hold you all, You do not have our physical shape, but you according to your portrait made man, man from head to heel, but is subject to space being.
God, religion and theology as a whole, the key words, Augustine is our effort to make every life as the most detailed explanation of the most important concepts. Therefore, I must first try to solve this mystery is God. It is difficult to fully know God's thoughts and entities, does not change his own, but made a variable thing, and he did not have time to change their own, but when things are made of. Thus, despite the The doctrine of the Trinity, which directly touches so much of a problem within the Christian aesthetic.
1. Father -
God as a purely intellectual, he is There is a God the Father Almighty, He made heaven and earth and all things, has given life to a million. Father's will but all the things and animals of the first and the highest reason. His He is immortal, invisible, eternal monarch, unique God. Although our eyes can not see him, but he is the highest entity, is the only true and eternal existence, and is a He was not only
It is because of the presence of the Father as the founder, he created the time, but he was outside at the time, he created all things, he was filling in all things, but we can not see with the naked eye that he is God, the depth of the highest mysteries. We could not understand his in the presence of the movement to pour itself out of existence in unity with his combination of the other bit cell in the grid and through these bits show up, we can know him. Thus, under God, he sent his only son - Jesus Christ the Incarnate to save humanity.
2, of the Son -
any religion there exists a super-emotional nature of faith and belief there are between their own emotional conflicts. Therefore, any religion must find a way so that God will not be aware of people connected with the emotional, Christianity is no exception, and Jesus Christ is such a bridge. Son is the word of God is the Son of God, the Father of the words child, child to be made by the parent and the father sent the Virgin Mary there in flesh, the flesh, through the words that have become apparent to show the world, to convey the truth of the Father. The word of God mentioned here is the logos. Logos is a tool for creation of God, God of creation in words, every word he uttered could immediately become a reality. Logos is the intermediary between God and man, the Logos of God speak once to determine all things have become the order of nature.
Therefore, the existence of the Son can be called set within in a bit cell. Founding of the presence (the Father) that it can, through the expression of existence (the Son) and pouring out, and has produced understandable structure, are arranged in space and time into the world of concrete existence. The existence of existence itself is passed through to us, the Son is the Father created the world and those who re-create the daili. The Christian faith, Christ Jesus is the decisive revelation of God exemplary.
Not only that, Jesus came not only to be revealed to the Holy Father's words, because of his self-created humanity and with us, he's status in the Father and pray for us. Adam's sin produced in love yu, his sympathy with sin as sin yu in his offspring inherited, so all that is sinful from birth, it will not escape God's punishment.
Because Jesus Christ took human flesh, so he has a human nature, so people can feel the anguish and pain; because of a deity, they are able counting on God, ease suffering, lived and without any hesitation. The death of Jesus in the flesh and suffering for the redemption of mankind has been clear since the original sin of Adam, so that people regained their free will, and this is God's grace.
Son through the physical network, stroke us and ignite our passion and we followed him in the fragrance. Once he appears, we will be something similar, will see his true colors.
the main body of the resurrection will change our lowly body shape, and his glorious body. Because the death and resurrection of the two scenarios, the nature of a treatment by the harmony and symmetry, his body became the symbol of our inner person, and an example of people outside of us. Therefore, the main body of the resurrection is to give our faith to value. And this is another very important in Christian theology of
justified, he incurs acceptable experience there is a lost and alienated break into normal relations with the existence of an experience. Therefore, justification by faith is to admit that people can not pardon themselves, can not straighten out his own existence, which can only happen through divine mercy, the active role. When our beliefs become due to see the truth, we would have died of a solid into eternity.
3, the Holy Spirit -
addition to the Father, the Son, but also another one Spirit (also translated in some places the Holy Spirit.) The Holy Spirit is present in the creation of an active God, is God's dynamic presentation. Holy Spirit that is beyond all beginning to run on top of the flood, he sent from the mysterious depths of God, the role of the human will and emotion, more of a struggle than the logos. He is a creature in existence is that we have, it is through him that we can hear from our existence beyond the flesh of our voices. Work is to maintain the unity of the Holy Spirit, and when needed, can be found in the full range of existence within the update it. Therefore, the relative Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is a
The Holy Spirit is the Son pray to the Father and sent down to mankind the grace, he specifically linked together with the truth, is God to enlighten people, who erected, in a way into the inner person which. This is somewhat similar to the human soul, the soul is blown to the body of God's Therefore, the Holy Spirit will awaken in people's minds the existence of the close relationship between man and the consciousness, which is already inherent to human existence itself will wake up.
Desires pull a heavy shady people fall into the abyss of waters running through it on the Holy Spirit, love so that we increase our longing for God's peace, so that we give up the heart toward God, to reach to run in the flood, Therefore, as a unifying force, the power of the Holy Spirit is a love, he raise the creatures to God, so that existence and existence into a coherent unification at the same time, but the diversity does not undermine the existence sex. When the spirit of existence with the existence of a conscious blend of freedom, is involved in the life of God, the creature will truly realize they become
God three persons - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is absolutely equal, and the same entity in the trinity of the eternal. Can use Father given life to a million there, Jesus Christ,UGG shoes, who won the points are rational, and because there reason to have a choice of good or evil, so there will be a revelation and grace of the Holy Spirit to call those who, in essence, without holiness Uehara The inspiration can be in his next and become a holy and grace.
this unique trinity of God is very intimate, and is the three-three and one relationship. He is the singular Three in a marvelous way to not leave regardless, it remains as an entity. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in the same entity, which is a third, without any temporary movement, there is no gap of time and space, beyond the top of all creation,cheap UGG boots, from eternity to eternity, is one and as full as the eternal truth and love, is the He includes a diversity in unity, he is both transcendent is immanent, he is still movement is stable. In short, he is a unified existence, everything will eventually be brought together in the unity of his.
Second, the person of the Trinity
people of God fabricated in accordance with their own portrait made, and breathed the breath of the body, making body as a whole. Thus, in people who also have a similar trinity with God. God left the human mind because the ideas imprinted, you can feel the continuity of the mind of God, we can remember through the mind of the Trinity, understanding that combined love of God created it. According to Augustine,
nature that one can with his memory, understanding and awareness of what can be done. His knowledge and understanding of memory installed in what in the end, and aim at where he's learning. But practice is the will of the solution to the memory of the thing to find in the use of, whether it is to use them to achieve other purposes, or to themselves as targets to be enjoyment. With the heart of the Trinity, through the memories we recall the way of God, by reason of God's words, see derived, through the love and embrace God's grace.
Augustine thought in here a very important concept - remember, this is not only related to the virtue of why people can recall that the original God in our hearts, but also understand the
First of all, memory is an image of the treasures as exists. In memory of the Temple Mountain, the collection of the official vision of all things into the offer by the myriad feelings and images, whether or not refined through the forgotten ideas buried in the absorption of all collections here. I feel these images can be disposable and wisdom, you can review my own experience or others to convey all that I can personally experienced or things according to the image of experience and presumed to be combined, or contact in the past, or plan future action. Memory image of the world by style intake to mind first commander of the objective world to complete the internal transformation.
Second, the memory can be caused by the concept of things. The memory of a mixed collection of messy part, by thinking about collecting them, and then attention to the concept of lead placed in memory, so it is easy to show that concept in our thinking. Here the role of memory is equivalent to the set of inner work, as Augustine so admired the power of memory, so he sometimes confused with memory and intellectual function, it is clear here is such a confusion. But anyway, this capacity through the demonstration of memory, Augustine also completed the internalization of the objective nature of things the task.
In addition, memory can also have our inner feelings, and this approach is in accordance with the nature of memory, and heart by the emotional impulse is different. This means that emotion is the emotion experienced by the mind, a rational analysis conducted after some identification to the memory, these feelings become a co-rational emotions of God. So, when we recall these feelings, the heart is not feeling emotional impulses. Human emotion has always been something very subjective, but because the objective here is the emotional heart of things, as long as we can recall those experiences, even without those things were not there, nor have any impact. So by the memory of this feature, Augustine further into the internal emotion a completely object without counting on any objective thing.
Finally, because the mind can recall his own, while the mind is blown into the body of the breath of God, with His grace, all things to show people the truth. Therefore, the mind is to remember God's own memories. So, when the recalled memory storage part of the mind, the memory of it was God who live in our place. We can only find in the memory of our God, remember, we can not find our Lord. By the nature of memory, the highest truth there is to the best good of the human mind to the transformation of people's memories, real people completed the full internalization of turn. Unchanging and eternal power of God's wisdom on the presence in our soul.
Therefore, the formation of the knowledge of God. Therefore, we can recall the memory of God by virtue of the way, and by virtue of some rational from the point of Jesus Christ to understand that God, to love God sincerely praise God be God. This is the human soul's Although there are many people who like the Trinity, but the soul of the Trinity is the most representative, speaking in some ways it is a kind of ontology (or ontological), and epistemology in the human mind in the combined try, although it comes with a very strong religious overtones.
Third,UGG boots, changes in temperament, build a new heart
in the understanding of God's Trinity and the person of the Trinity, the discussion back to the aesthetic problem, it is necessary to The reason for choosing such a perspective to start, is completely out of aesthetic understanding of the discipline itself, from the point of perception to see Augustine and the Christian aesthetic problems, you must first figure out their understanding of the emotional and attitude.
1, why should
Christian advocates rely on the mind of the However, this does not mean that Christianity is not emotional, not emotional, but asked us to get rid of feelings of decline in the delay prompted us to play the secular trend of the heart, washing spiritual layers of dirt, snow shower and do not believe ignorance is rouyu heart of darkness, removed all of the malignant, thus, we can get a pure soul,Discount UGG boots, get a holy feeling, has to sense the emotional nature. This is the Therefore, Christianity is not so much a series of aesthetic definitions of beauty or art specifications, in fact, means that from the outset, is a transformation of the human sensibility.
2, how to
As previously mentioned, according to people God created in His own image, in the human mind to leave the traces of God, the human soul of Christ is divided with rational, God can be collected the light of reason. We can remember back and forth through the memory of the way of God, to understand God through reason and, therefore, by virtue of the grace of God, to sincerely love our God. Because God is in our hearts, we can know him understand that he loved him to achieve the same God, in this sense, we have a
here, On the one hand, Because God only when one is aware of his faith when he was down in our memory, understanding and belief that this requires people to get rid of the enjoyment of physical senses, so that from listening attentively to the voice of the soul, the beginning believe in God, and determined attributed to him. Our temperament to reach the first purification, let us know the hearts of God is sufficient; our hearts also completed the reconstruction of the first, matching in the presence of God. Only at this time, God really live in our hearts, we know him only a possibility.
the other hand, when we completed the trinity of mind, we turn to achieve a second Because our hearts have been fully aware of God, understanding God, and sincerely believe in him loved him, so we have also divided the same God and divinity. This time, we again change our temperament, our new reconstruction of the heart, because with God's divine points, then change the temperament and the re-reconstructed completely get rid of the new heart is troubled by flesh and blood, fugue in physical form , above the moon and stars to the sky Lai Yiu days, slowly increased. . This is also the Christian aesthetic or emotional feelings of human transformation of the ultimate goal.
Fourth, Christian Aesthetics - Return of the human inner
own portrait of God created man, in fact, the other hand, God is the portrait of people shaped their own to do a high idol. As Mr Yan Guozhong said The image is from the suffering of mankind to stand up in a struggle to live in their own image.
Therefore, the Christian Aesthetics requires us to This is in fact requires us out of the abyss rouyu, break the barriers of the secular, wash clean all the evil habits, return to our hearts, could sense that the essence of life. Achieved when the aesthetic realm is the subject of aesthetic object and aesthetic fully integrated, people are both aesthetic subject, but also exists as an aesthetic object.
as the aesthetic subject, people put aside the carnal flesh and blood person outside, to the United States is completed before entering the transformation of human nature, The rapt attention in a As the aesthetic object, in the minds of the truth is as eternal as God, eternal and ever new goodness. And the truth of the highest good for the most beautiful is our heart and mind, rising in our mind, is the soul of the self-pulling up. Cleanse qingyu covered with the secular life of the dust in our soul, the mind still sense the attribution of a divine nature that is self-sublimation of the soul, the Christian aesthetic not only the aesthetic subject who was placed in the position to be transformed, but also from the Where a person to extract the maximum goodness of the universe on behalf of the aesthetic object. As a result, Christian Aesthetics also completed the inherent nature of human real return, although the return at the expense of other people, such as qingyu the expense of secular sensibility, with a strong religious spirit of the pessimistic elitism.
