someone standing next to you could affirm as accurate, or perhaps supplement with slightly differ-
ent words: “That is a Rembrandt, a painting showing the bust of a young woman against a dark
background, with shadow on part of her face. It looks like she is wearing a pearl necklace.” A
hundred people might look at the same painting and be able to agree, more or less, with this de-
scription.
想象一下,你正站在博物馆里的一幅画对面。你以站在你旁边的人为基准来描述,或者加
以不同的话来补充:“那是一幅伦勃朗的画,画的是一位年轻女子的半身像,背景是黑
色,她的部分脸部有阴影。看起来她戴着一条珍珠项链。”一百个人看同一幅画,可能会
或多或少地认同这一描述。
This is what generally counts as objective knowledge—descriptions of things that pretty much
anyone could agree on. This assumes that the world is made of objects, of things that can appear
roughly the same to many observers. Yet diaphanous glimpses that seem to lift out of ordinary
experience are not concrete things, so they are quietly demoted to the status of subjective day-
dreams and imagination. Given their power within human experience, however, it seems negligent
to dismiss their legitimacy so simply.
这就是通常被认为是客观认识的东西—对几乎所有人都能认同的事情的描述。这假设世界
是由物体组成的,是由许多观察者看来大致相同的事物组成的。然而,那些看似超越一般
经验的隐约感受并不是具体的事物,所以它们被悄悄地降格为主观的白日梦和想象。然
而,考虑到它们在人类经验中的力量,如此简单地否定它们的合法性似乎是过失的。
Standing in the museum there is a sense in which you are here, as observer, and the painting is
there, on the wall, as an object. In objective knowledge, your personal hereness and your relation-
ship with the painting is more or less taken for granted, based on the assumptions that standing in
front of a painting is the right way to relate to it and that anyone who was here would see much the
same thing. If you were a postmodernist, you might challenge these assumptions by thinking of all
the other ways you could be in relationship with the painting: you might invert it or view it through
a kaleidoscope, you might take a photo of it, turn the colors wild and alive, cut the image into slices
and rearrange them in a way that evokes a throbbing animate force. Or, you might consider that a
person not oriented to fine arts might think a “Rembrandt” was a new kind of digital printer, or that
a newborn might see only vague patterns of dark and light. All of this play can lead to fresh and
creative approaches to the world, and can also be used to deconstruct or reconstruct any piece of
information, leaving no effective consensus and no reliable knowledge (e.g., Rorty, 1979). While
postmodern approaches can thus challenge existing orthodoxies and resulting false paradoxes, they
11
are less helpful in developing productive ways of understanding experiences that are already mar-
ginalized and poorly understood.
站在博物馆里,有一种感觉,你在这里,作为观察者,而这幅画在那里,在墙上,作为一
个对象。在客观认识上,你的个人存在性以及你与这幅画的关系或多或少被认为是理所当
然的,这是基于这样的假设,即站在一幅画面前是与它联系的正确方式,任何在场的人都
会看到大致相同的东西。如果你是一名后现代主义者,你可能会挑战这些假设,想一想你
与这幅画的所有其他联系方式:你可以颠倒它,或者通过万花筒观看它,你可能会给它拍
一张照片,把颜色变得丰富而鲜活,把图像切成几片,然后以一种唤起一种悸动的生命力
的方式重新排列。或者,你可能会认为一个不喜欢美术的人可能会认为“伦勃朗”是一种新
型的数字印刷机,或者一个新生儿可能只看到模糊的黑暗和光明的图案。所有这些行为都
可能为世界带来新鲜的创造性的方法,也可以用来解构或重构任何信息片段,但不会留下
有效的共识和可靠的认知。(e.g., Rorty, 1979)虽然后现代方法因此可以挑战现有的正统
观念和由此产生的虚假悖论,但它们在发展富有成效的理解经验方式方面帮助较小,因为
这些理解经验方式已经被边缘化和很少被理解。

It is for this conundrum that participatory thought within transpersonal psychology (Ferrer, 2002),
drawing deeply on feminist thought, seems to offer a way forward. From this standpoint, reality is
not objective in the conventional sense that it is separate from me or that I can stand back from it
and take it in like a painting on the wall, and yet it is not merely subjective in the sense that it is
just something made up in the mind. Reality is actual, real, but you and I are part of it, immersed
in it, not observers who can stand back from it and give an objective account; the public space is
woven of relationships rather than constructed of separate objects (cf. Thayer-Bacon, 2003, 2010).
Reality is being on the canvas and in the painting, and my relational perspective is necessarily
colored by my location (cf. Harding, 1991, 2004).
正是为了解决这一难题,超个人心理学中的参与式思想(participatory thought)(Ferrer,
2002)似乎提供了一条前进的道路,它深深地借鉴了女权主义思想(feminist thought)。
从这个角度看,现实并不是传统意义上的客观,即它与我是分开的,或者我可以置身事
外,像墙上的画一样欣赏它,但对像又不仅是主观的,它不只是头脑中形成的东西。现实
是实实在在的,但你和我都是其中的一部分,沉浸在其中,而不是可以远离它并给出客观
解释的观察者;公共空间是由关系编织而不是由单独的对象构成的(cf. Thayer-Bacon,
2003, 2010)。现实存在于画布和画中,我的关系视角必然被我的位置所影响(cf. Harding,
1991, 2004)。
To apply this to the metaphor of a Rembrandt painting, even if I am able to see the whole painting,
it is from the standpoint of a particular location within the painting. If I am situated in what an art
historian might describe as the dark background color typical of Rembrandt’s work, then the area
around me may seem dark, with lighter areas visible elsewhere; if I am located in one of the painted
pearls, I might describe the foreground as bright and lustrous, surrounded by dark areas farther out.
My situatedness on the painting means I cannot escape the fact that my experience is limited by
location, nor the fact that universal knowledge—which implies knowledge either from no specific
location (Nagel, 1989) or from a detached location deemed authoritative—is impossible for anyone
to attain; however, I can expand my understanding through dialogue and relationship. In fact, the
same locatedness that makes universal knowledge unreachable makes relationship both necessary
and possible. For this reason a participatory approach foregrounds the values that inform relation-
ship, and holds interest in speculations about universals or ultimates primarily as these represent
co-created distillations of their respective value system.
套用伦勃朗画作的比喻,即使我能看到整个画作,它也是从画作中某个特定位置的角度出
发的。如果我身处艺术历史学家所描述的伦勃朗作品中典型的深色背景色中,那么我周围
Many of the shortcomings of this characterization of Ferrer’s thought have already been identified
in some detail (Hartelius, 2015b), but what deserves further articulation is the fact that a perenni-
alist author such as Abramson employs a type of ontological claim about the nature of ultimate
reality that is largely counter to the thrust of participatory thought. This distinction, though con-
ceptually subtle, is central to the dichotomy between participatory and perennialist approaches. It
is subtle because participatory thought allows for multiple culturally-situated ontological claims
about ultimate reality (e.g., Ferrer, 2011a) just as a perennialist approach does (e.g., Wilber, 2006).
The difference is not only in how this apparent tension is resolved, but also and more importantly,
in the assumptions that inform a solution.
对费雷尔思想的这种定性的许多缺点已经被详细地指出了(Hartelius, 2015b),但值得进
一步阐明的是,像艾布拉姆森这样的常青主义作家对终极现实的本质采用了一种本体论主
张,这在很大程度上与参与式思想的主旨背道而驰。这一区别虽然概念上是微妙的,但却
是参与式方法和常青主义方法之间的二分法的核心。之所以微妙,是因为参与式思想允许
对终极现实进行多种文化背景的本体论主张(e.g., Ferrer, 2011a),就像常青主义方法一
样((e.g., Wilber, 2006)不同之处不仅在于这种明显的紧张关系是如何解决的,更重要的
是,提供解决方案的假设也是不同的。
A perennialist approach considers multiple culturally-situated claims about the nature of reality to
be imperfect reflections of an underlying nondual source. This nondual is something that exists in
the same way that an object exists in conventional modernist thought: The object exists in itself,
without reference to, dependence on, or relationship with any other, whether object or subject (cf.
en soi, Sartre, 1943); a rock is a rock is a rock, whether it exists at the bottom of a stream or
tumbling though interstellar space, or whether it sits on the altar of a meditator. The nondual of
integral theory is held to exist in a manner where existence itself is objective in this way: this non-
dual exists in itself, as unchanging source (cf. Wilber, 2006), unaffected by the creation to which

本期亮点
In 1985 Linda Meyers published a paper in the Journal of Black Psychology entitled, Transpersonal
Psychology: The Role of the Afrocentric Paradigm. This paper pointed out the fact that the sort of
integral worldview favored by transpersonal psychology existed in the African world view and in
psychological theory deriving from that world view. On discovering this paper in the literature, I
went directly to the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology to see what response this might have
drawn. Here was an invitation to expand beyond the approaches of East and West, and include
another great swath of human culture. There was, however, no sign of a response from the transper-
sonal community in its main journals. It is my hope that the Special Topic Section, edited by Ange-
lina Graham, may serve as a belated response that acknowledges the importance— indeed the in-
dispensability—of the contribution and participation of Black psychology in any comprehensive
approach to transpersonal psychology.
