中文摘要

在宗教學研究中,宗教經常被理解為一種「系統」,不過,所指的「系統」為何種系統卻少有進一步的說明。為了釐清相關問題,本文針對當前宗教學中幾個較為明顯的例子將其與系統理論家盧曼的宗教系統概念進行初步的比較,其中,以系統「秩序」的解釋方式為主要的探討重點。本文指出,當前宗教學者仍應用較為傳統的、人類學式的解釋模式來說明宗教系統及其秩序,在有關概念的設定與理論的建構方面,這些構思顯然很不足。盧曼應用其抽象且嚴謹的系統理論,說明宗教系統為一種獨立運轉的、自我指涉的溝通系統,此系統的秩序源自一種獨特「符碼」的運用。結語指出,盧曼的理論有助於顯示出宗教學既有理論構思之缺陷,因而可促使宗教學者對既有宗教理論的反省與檢討。

英文摘要

In Religious Studies discourse, religion or religions are often conceptualized as ‘system’. This paper briefly compares several concepts of ‘religious system’ found in recent studies with Niklas Luhmann’s system theoretical approach. The explanation of ‘order’ in the religious system serves as criterion. Whereas the scholars of religion discussed in this paper are still employing traditional anthropological patterns of explanation, which attribute the order and continuation of cultural and religious systems to the mental and physical actions of humans or ‘subjects’, Luhmann stresses the autonomy of the religious system as a self-referential and self-reproducing system of communication, whose order is the result of a specific binary code used in all operations of this system. It is pointed out that the precision and rigidity displayed by Luhmann’s theory when dealing with topics related to religion helps to detect shortcomings of current concepts and theories in Religious Studies.
