摘 要: 在杰克•伦敦的短篇小说《生命法则》中,老人不同时期的人生态度划清了自我“精神三变”的原型与流变,洋溢着深切的精神隐喻内涵。老人用自己对于死亡的写实性理解提供了一个适应性悖论纠结于一身的典型,旨在揭示主体适应性悖论不仅存在于物理世界,还延伸至社会世界和心理世界当中。多维悖论的存在揭示了个体丧失生存空间和精神家园时的困顿与挣扎,更是直指人类面对自然因果律宿命时的一种精神重估,而这正是自然主义文学作品所隐含的现实一般性。 |

Abstract: In The Law of Life, the old man’s attitude towards life has delineated out the prototype and variants of Tri-transformation of spirit by Nietzsche in different stages. This is further entrenched in the old man’s agnosia and absence, and then constructed into salience and relevance in a network of adaptive paradox the old man is in. With a realistic explanation to death, a model is set where a set of adaptive paradoxes get interwoven and the adaptive paradoxes proceed into the mental and the social worlds. The multi-dimensional paradoxes have betrayed the loss and struggle the individual encounter when losing the worlds at all levels. More significantly, it is directed at a spiritual re-evaluation when mankind is faced with stoical acceptance of fate, which is a norm to be realized in naturalistic works. |
