摘要:

作为当代世界最重要的思想家与公共知识分子,玛莎·努斯鲍姆因其对文学艺术的特别倚重而在当代哲学界独树一帜。她不仅在思想论证中将文学想象/叙事置于重要位置,而且还在当代语境中继承与开拓了古代“诗与伦理学结盟”的观念,并有效发掘了文学在回应“人应当如何生活”这一伦理学问题中所作的贡献。在对文学伦理内涵的阐发中,努斯鲍姆分别触及文学的“感知”与“治疗”两种不同的价值,体现了其文学观内在的矛盾与复杂,同时也凸显了当代西方自由主义文论的问题与困境,约翰·格雷意义上“自由主义的两张面孔”在其中得到显著彰显。

Abstract:

As an influential thinker and public intellectual, Martha Nussbaum is distinguished in the field of philosophy by her great passion for literature and arts. She not only brings to the fore literary imagination/narrative in intellectual discussions, but also inherits and develops such classical idea as “the alliance of poetry and ethics” in the contemporary context. She has effectively explored the contribution literature has made in response to the ethical question as to “How should one live?” In her explication of the literary ethics, Nussbaum refers to the value of literary ethics in two respective dimensions, “perception” and “therapy,” which not only reflects the inner tension and complexity of her literary view, but also underlines the problem and predicament of contemporary literary theories of liberalism. As John Gray would have it, the “two faces of liberalism” is remarkably presented within Nussbaum’s theories.
