 承認涉及自我與他者之間的相互認可，因而可以將承認理論理解為一項關於人倫構成的哲學理論。本文首先分析黑格爾、霍耐特的現代承認理論的得失，特別對霍耐特所提出的“生存模式的承認”與黑格爾的“主奴辯證法”進行反思性分析，揭示出現代承認理論的人類學前提是將人理解為一個口只關注人的必死性的欲望的主體；之後回到奥古斯丁，通過重構奥古斯丁關於人從記憶中尋求上帝的描述，提出一種基於創造論(proctology)的承認理論，指出這種承認理論的人類學前提是將人理解為一個關注人的降生性的感應的主體；最後通過分析儒教經典中的相關論述，指出天人之倫乃是父子之倫、朋友之倫、君臣之倫的基礎，從而為一種宗教性的生命倫理學奠定理論基礎。
 Recognition involves mutual recognition between the self and others. As such, the theory of recognition can be understood as a philosophical theory about the constitution of human relations. This article first analyzes Hegel's and Honneth's modern theories of recognition. It critically assesses Honneth's “recognition of the mode of existence” and Hegel's “master-slave dialectics,” revealing that these modern recognition theories embrace an anthropological premise: man is understood as a subject who only pays attention to the desire of man's mortality. The article then turns to Augustine's doctrine. By reconstructing Augustine's description of man seeking God from memory, the article proposes a protology-based theory of recognition, laying out an alternate anthropological premise in which man is understood as a sympathetic subject concerned with human incarnation. Finally, in analyzing relevant discussions in Confucian classics, the article indicates that the relationship between Heaven and man is the foundation for the relationship between father and son, the relationship between friend and friend, and the relationship between monarch and minister, laying a theoretical foundation for Confucian religious bioethics.
