什麼是盧爾

Llull, Ramon

英語作Raynond Lully

西班牙（加泰龍）神祕主義者、詩人和傳教士。他在馬霍卡王宮中長大，在宮中他就寫抒情詩。後來他周遊各地，勸說穆斯林改奉基督教。據說他在貝賈亞被亂石擊死。作為哲學家，他以「尋找真理的藝術」的發明人著稱。這種藝術主要是在傳教工作中支援教會，同時把知識的所有分支統一起來。在他的主要著作《偉大藝術》（1305～1308）中，他試圖把所有形式的知識，包括神學、哲學和自然科學，都歸結為互相模仿而出自同源，都是宇宙中神性的表現。他的作品影響了整個中世紀以及17世紀的歐洲的新柏拉圖神祕主義。在加泰龍文化中，他的帶有寓意的小說《布蘭奎爾納》（1284?）和《菲力克斯》（1288?）受到廣泛的歡迎。他關於騎士制度的論文、關於動物的寓言故事以及關於中世紀思想的百科全書也都頗為人知。

1232/1233～1315/1316年

Llull, Ramon

Spanish (Catalan) mystic, poet, and missionary. He was reared at the court of Majorca, where he wrote lyrical troubadour poetry. He later traveled widely, attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity; he is said to have been stoned to death at Beja?a. As a philosopher, he is best known as the inventor of an “art of finding truth”; primarily intended to support the Church in its missionary work, it was also designed to unify all branches of knowledge. In his principal work, Ars magna (1305-8), he tried to relate all forms of knowledge, including theology, philosophy, and the natural sciences, as mutually analogous and manifestations of the godhead in the universe. His writings influenced Neoplatonic mysticism throughout medieval and 17th-century Europe. In Catalan culture, his allegorical novels Blanquerna (c. 1284) and Felix (c. 1288) enjoy wide popularity; he is also known for his treatise on chivalry, his animal fables, and an encyclopedia of medieval thought.
