我的本科毕业论文讨论的是叔本华的伦理学思想。其间我注意到了叔本华对于人面对性行为时的“害羞”情感所作的解释。叔本华认为人生根本上是痛苦，而性行为就是在自觉自愿地把这种苦难的人生一代代传下去，所以对这一真相有所领悟的人类天生地对此感到害羞。我感到这一解释比较粗糙：叔本华这里说的是“羞愧”，那是一种做了错事、良心受到责备的感觉；而人面对性行为时的情感与其说是“羞愧”不如说是“羞涩”，“羞涩”中是包含有甜蜜、美好的感觉的。叔本华完全没有注意到这一区别。我在硕士论文中对这一话题作了进一步的探讨。

我的硕士论文通过解读柏拉图和马克思的文本探讨了肉体之爱和精神之爱的分裂和统一的问题。在这篇文章中“害羞”被理解为自我意识固有的存在论特性，它是“孤独”的确证，同时也包含着人通过爱重返“原初关联”的可能。人在面对性行为时的“羞涩”情感中包含着甜蜜，那是对重返原初关联的喜悦和感恩。

My Bachelor’s thesis discussed about Schopenhauer’s ethics thought. Which attracted me was Schopenhauer’s explanation of people’s shyness associated with sex. From his point of view, life is fundamentally painful and it’s pain is continuing from generation to generation through sexual intercourses. That’s why people who comprehend this tragic instinctively feel shy about sex. I felt this explanation too rough. The “shyness” in Schopenhauer’s texts generally indicates “shame”, which means feeling guilty about wrong deeds. But people’s shyness associated with sex is rather “bashfulness” than “shame”. There is something blissful implied in this kind of shyness which Schopenhauer did not aware. In my master’s thesis I explored this problem further.

 My master’s thesis discussed about the split and reunion of spiritual love and mental love. In this thesis “shyness” was interpreted as an inherent existential character of self-awareness which certified both people’s lonelyness and the possibility of regaining the original unification through love. The bliss emplied in the “bashfulness” associatd with sex involves joy and thanksgiving for regaining the original unification.
