本文主旨在於探討聖保羅和王陽明之良知觀，以求儒家與耶教會通之道。探討之 進路則以神秘主義觀點切入。文分二部份：一、聖保羅：良心為上帝之聲音；二、王陽明： 良知之光照。但為彰顯聖保羅之良知觀，則追溯西方良知觀之源頭，而以四小節：（一）西 方希臘時期之良知觀，（二）西方羅馬時期之良知觀，（三）在舊約聖經中之良知觀，（四 ）聖保羅之良知觀，明其演變。至於王陽明良知觀則分從三層面：（一）良知之昭明朗現， （二）良知即本心之虛靈明覺，(三 ) 良知與天地萬物為一體，加以闡揚。本文探求之結果 ，終得二聖人良知觀之特色，五二者良知之悟，實可交流會通。以聖保羅之良心為上帝的聲 音契合王陽明良知為虛靈明覺之光照，應是中西文化溝通的大橋樑。
This paper is an inquiry into the mystical concept of conscience in St.Paul and Wang Yang-ming. It aims at finding a link between Confucianism and Christianity and is approached from the point of view of mysticism. The thesis consists of two parts: (1) St. Paul: conscience as the voice of God; (2) Wang Yang-ming: the illumination of conscience. In order to understand St.Pauls view of conscience it is traced to three points of origin: the concept of conscience in the Hellenic, Roman, and old Testments's periods. The concept of conscience in Wang Yang-ming is considered in three aspects, namely, the embodiment of conscience, the contemplation of conscience and the union of conscience and the cosmos. Finally I come to the following conclusion: the concept conscience in St.Paul and Wang Yang-ming bridge the gap between Confucianism and Christianity.
